2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Minnesota

[beesley]

Here's my Minnesota map. I don't really understand why the twin cities shouldn't go together but it's whatever I separated them anyways. I'm not sure about the 3rd and 4th but I was able to calculate how the rest voted in 2020 since county splits are minimal in my map.



MN-1: Biden+32
MN-2: Trump+12
MN-5: Biden+0.5
MN-6: Trump+25
MN-7: Trump+18

2012-2016 PVI
MN-1: D+12
MN-2: R+6
MN-3: D+24
MN-4: R+2
MN-5: R+5
MN-6: R+11
MN-7: R+6

It's not how I would arrange the districts, but this is a decent map.

Kinda splits up the St Cloud area a bit too much IMO.

That's where I'd disagree with the mapmaker. I would sooner abolish MN-07 or MN-02 than MN-06. This was my map according to my criteria, using 2016 Presidential data. Klobuchar won all districts in 2018 except the 6th. Walz and Biden won the 4 Twin Cities Metro districts.
