I wasn't clear.  With a single objective optimization the best re-districting is
the one that achieves the smallest (or largest for maximization) objective. 
The problem with multi-objective optimization for re-districting isn't that it
can't be done.  The problem with it in this context is how do you determine
which re-districting is "best"?
