They held another district-drawing contest.  $500 prize.
While the winning plan(s) seem to improve over the old ones, they
don't strike me as
ultra-wonderful. It seems plausible splitline or Olson would have done
comparably or better.

I noticed they mentioned only the Roeck and Schwartzberg compactness
measures for districts,
which both were flagged in my review as stupid and
incredibly-ultra-stupid measures, respectively:
