This puts me in Paulsen's district. YUCK. I like who is removed but there are better ways to do it.

Also why is everyone so intent on stretching out MN-1 to the southern suburbs?

Besides, this is a horrible map that would probably not pass - I doubt anything dismantling the MN and St Paul districts could, even if meant to benefit Democrats.

Correct.

Putting Bachmann in the same district as another rep isn't really much of an issue, her home would likely end up in McCollum's district under a "fair" map (aka one not targeting her) anyway. The key is dismantling her district so she just can't move to Elk River and win the primary. Giving MN-02 all of Washington County won't do that on its own (though it may be a start.)

If your only priority is eliminating Bachmann, then one should probably be thankful Paulsen won, as it would've been pretty difficult to draw a map both protecting Madia and eliminating Bachmann (It would require something crazy like the proposed map really.)
