Maptitude for Redistricting Has Bipartisan Support from Democrats and Republicans

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.
