Explore the ReCom process below
- Randomly Select two adjacent districts
- Merge the districts, and build a spanning tree on this section of the graph
- Randomly cut an edge in the spanning tree that produces two components with equal population
- Repeat on the resulting map
This example illustrates a 10-step ReCom process. The initial map used for this demonstration This is the current Wisconsin district map. A 1% population difference tolerance was allowed to maintain a reasonable population balance. Note that not all attempts will produce a valid cut, so this demonstration only illustrates the accepted steps in the ReCom process.
