5-2 Minnesota DFL gerrymander

[Tintrlvr]

If you're going to gerrymander like that, why leave one very strongly Democratic district? Pair Minneapolis with some super-Republican areas instead and get that seat to D+10 or something and use some of the swing areas to shore up the other Democratic districts instead of reaching them out to hard Republican areas.

That's exactly what I did.

Southern Anoka isn't super-Republican. It's barely more than evenly split. That's why you have a 69% Clinton district! Put more/all of Anoka in with St. Paul and stretch the Minneapolis district out further towards St. Cloud, then maybe you can pull some of the Democratic St. Paul suburbs into other districts to shore them up, too.
