NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS (USA) – Caliper Corporation announced today that the two major political parties -- the Democratic National Commmittee and the Republican National Committee -- have selected Maptitude for Redistricting as their redistricting software for the upcoming round of redistricting. Both organizations have purchased multiple copies of the software along with redistricting datasets for a number of key states and plan to use the software in conjunction with the state parties and other political leaders from the states.
Maptitude for Redistricting is a special edition of Caliper Corporation’s
Maptitude® Mapping Software. Maptitude
for Redistricting creates redistricting plans by assigning area features to
a district. Data values are automatically computed to reflect each

and will be on the
road in the upcoming months. The many new features, ease-of-use, and
