Redistricting with DistrictR

Boy oh boy have I bitten off quite a bit with my latest project. 

I accepted an invitation to join the technical Advisory Committee for the newly-formed Indiana Citizens’ Redistricting Commission. Their mission is to pressure the state legislature to redraw Indiana’s districts without resort to partisan gerrymandering, and my mission will be to produce a series of training videos

The videos will explain how to use the mapping software needed to participate in the Commission’s upcoming competition, which challenges everyday people like you and me to redraw state districts using objective, non-partisan criteria. 

I’m hard at work on the analysis and design for the software tutorials. In the meantime here is the initial animated promo video I just completed in Vyond. Check it out!
