    "abstract": "The Political Districting Problem is mapped to a $q$-state Potts model in\nwhich the constraints can be written as interactions between sites or external\nfields acting on the system. Districting into $q$ voter districts is equivalent\nto finding the ground state of this $q$-state Potts model. We illustrate this\nby districting Taipei city in its 2008 Legislature Election. Statistical\nproperties of the model are also studied.",
