2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Minnesota

Dems in a gerrymander should put Duluth in a district that slides down to St. Paul and chop parts of Minneapolis into districts 2 and 3.

This is what Dems should be doing in MN!

If Dems win the legislature in '22, any chance they do a mid-decade redistricting?

Dems would be idiots not to ask the courts for a new Biden seat to reflect the state's more accurate 5-3 split.

Considering what's coming in NC, it's time to do this in Minnesota!

I also think if they made 1 and 8 Biden +6 or so, the courts would be much less likely to strike it down and it would give Dems two additional opportunities.

6-2 was so last week, why go 6-2 or 4-4 when you can do 7-1! McCarthy would get Omar out of Congress this way! This one is also great at staying 7-1 in 2016 and all downballot races.

The current MN map is GOP biased, there is no reason they should have 4 Trump +9 or better seats in a lean Dem state.

One way Dems could do it is make MN-1,8 Biden +6-7 seats or so that are not egregious but nonetheless will give the party a much better shot at additional seats in a 2022 type year. An 8th that extends south into Woodbury, Maplewood and maybe a small section of St. Paul makes too much sense.

Does Omar have any true allies in the state Senate? Dems would be foolish not to do anything. Of course I would do this as a response to the North Carolina GOP, not on January 10th.
