内格尔教授论证了计算机在重划选区中的效用，在整个过程中明确了指导计算机有关法律的和政治的限制和目标的必要性。任何系统性的立法选区重划方案都必须满足的基本标准是：计算机的可行性、联邦和州的合法性以及政治上的现实性。内格尔详细阐述了这些标准，并根据这些标准考察了当前的选区重划计划。这篇文章不仅服务于计算机辅助重划选区的老练学生，也服务于政治科学家，他们在卑微的无知中，来调查最先进的技术。
Professor Nagel argues the utility of computers in redistricting, making clear throughout the need to instruct the computer concerning the legal and political limits and goals. The basic criteria to be met by any systematic legislative redistricting scheme are: computer feasibility, federal and state legality, and political realism. Nagel explicates these criteria and, in terms of them, examines current redistricting programs. The article serves not only the sophisticated student of computer-aided redistricting but the political scientist who, in humble ignorance, comes for a survey of the state of the art.
