2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Minnesota

[Biden his time]

All of you on this thread will be so upset if Minnesota's population is 30,000 or so bigger than expected and Minnesota keeps its 8th seat.

[Biden his time]

Everyone chill out a little. None of you are thinking properly and rationally.

Allow me to present the best Minnesota map (cuz who cares about municipalities and historical districts lol?):



Here's what it'd look like seriously:

2008 Presidential election: 3 Solid Democrat, 1 Solid Republican, 3 Swing (margin of under 5%)

2016 Presidential election: 2 Solid Democrat, 3 Solid Republican, 2 Swing (margin of under 5%)

2018 Gubernatorial election: 4 Solid Democrat, 1 Solid Republican, 2 Swing (margin of under 5%)

I tried my hand at a fair congressional map of Minnesota using the 2020 census results.

The Population Deviation is less than 0.01%.

100/100 on Dave's Proportionality Index
62/100 on the Compactness Index
64/100 on County Splitting
19/100 on the Minority Representation index
28/100 on Dave's competitiveness index

The map above shows results from the 2020 U.S. Presidential election in Minnesota.

Minnesota doesn't really have minorities so there isn't much in the way of minority representation. There are two seats where minorities are over 30% of the Voting-Age population, one centered around Minneapolis and the other St. Paul.
