Heres my non partisan map for WI.

Hillary only won 38 districts and I doubt Biden did much better.

Have you taken into account nesting of HDs to form SDs?

I kinda wish WI would end nesting of HDs to form SDs. In any case, it's best if you draw a Senate map first.

Nah as someone who's drawn MN legislative districts before which are also nested (two per SD instead of three though), I've found the best way is to draw the House first and then combine them to create the SDs. If you draw the larger districts first you can create cases where there's no great way to properly divide them.

For the time being, I take your word for it re: MN.
In Wisconsin though, you can use +/-5% deviation and draw SDs that keep counties whole (with the whole nesting thing in mind - try to avoid drawing seats that would make for completely illogical HDs), then draw HDs within those.

I've already drawn a state senate map. The only barrier at this state is state assembly.  I'll post both when I'm done with both.

Its actually easier to start with the state assembly, you can create your districts, then make a copy of your map and then just mash em together.

DRA lets you mash districts together?

Well if you start with the State assembly right?
You can make a copy of your state assembly map and then just combine them from 1-3 by unlocking each district, then 4-6 and keep going

Aaaah.
True.

So I drew an Assembly map without partisan data being enabled. Then I enabled partisan data and changed about 10 districts, in an effort to increase the number of Dem districts while maintaining compactness. I wound up adding one Evers district in Brown County, two in Milwaukee County, and one in Eau Claire.
