Yeah, I just don't know how Iowa's system would handle designing districts like this:

Just have to include demographic info and weight it as a mandatory to have a certain percent.
From the articles, it says there's multiple variables considered (political boundaries, geographic boundaries, etc) when drawing the lines, each of which are provided with different weight values for importance.
If it's robust enough, it should still work fine. That being said, given it was made in the 1980s, it's probably not quite that robust. It's certainly possible to make a program as such, though.
hey, did a quick skim of the first last few pages and didn't see it anywhere, does anyone know where i can find some exit polls on early voting? particularly here in nevada?
