According to 538's Atlas of Redistricting, it's apparently possible to make both districts D-leaning (by moving Lewiston into CD-1 and some coastal areas north/east of Portland into CD-2), and it's also possible to make CD-2 strongly R-leaning (by making Portland, Lewiston, and Bangor all fall in CD-1). Given that Democrats now control the state government at both the executive and legislative levels, I wonder if they will take action to turn CD-2 into a D-leaning district...

I know this is rather hideous as far as communities of interest go, but is it possible that Maine Democrats would put the coastal counties in the 2nd and Lewiston/Auburn in the 1st?

I guess there'd have to be a little ugliness if Pingree really wants to live in her district.

As I said earlier, this would be the way to make both districts D-leaning.
