How is that a geojson problem? If your dataset is correct, adjacent borders will just use the same points and will match exactly.

The problem is simplification. Suppose two regions share a border with some nonlinear points a, b, c, d. Simplifying the polygon for the first region might yield a, b, d while the second yield a, c, d. This creates gaps or overlaps between the two regions.
