It's easy to explain. There are voting records for every voting district. And the first step is to assume each district will vote the same as in the past. The software would then looks for adjacent districts that have voted the same in the past. To build a larger voting district. This may, or may not be possible,
The end result will be a state, with a number of fairly large voting districts. But these may be separated in space. What to do next?
One solution is to have voting districts consisting of different areas of the state. Or do away with voting districts completely, and let each district vote for whoever it pleases. Politicians could still address their constituents, via the Internet, wherever they are.
This is probably the best solution, and is in operation now in a number of smaller countries. If it would work in a larger country remains to be seen. Perhaps some way of reducing the number of candidates would have to be found.
Each of these countries, would have to reconsider how it implements democracy in its country. And that would be a good thing.
