Moving Forward
By Mitch Berg
The House DFL’s redistricting plan couldn’t be more obviously gerrymandered to support the DFL if they re-did CD 6, 7 and 4 to spell out “DFL” in precincts on the state map.
Rep. Jeremy Munson has what I think is the second-best proposal I’ve seen:
Now, I thin the best plan I’ve seen (with all due modesty) is my own: it’d re-do the map so the districts are like huge slices of pie, radiating out from the Metro across the state. I need to find an actual precinct map to try drawing this up…

This is the most racist thing MBerg has ever posted. It is a dog whistle calling for the genocide of Minnestoa’s Bipoc and Latinx communities.

It wouldn’t work in a state with a lot of colored people.

Mitch, I would say your idea would work, IF the metro area was one or two (depending on how population count works) on it’s own. And the rest of the pie shapes worked out from there. Or the latitude idea would work, again if the metro was carved out of the map for its own district(s).

It’s an interesting thought, but my perspective is that districts ought to be as uniform as possible. Minneapolis and St. Paul get one district with a guano crazy rep, the suburbs get two (one for east & one for west, say), and the rest of the state is divided among the other districts. And yes, the left would say the conservative reps would be guano crazy, but that’s what we have already.
