“Republicans have the (House and Senate) majorities, and they’re about to harvest a load of new voters put into their districts,”
By law, Districts will change; lines for Minnesota’s 67 Senate and 134 House districts must be redrawn before the next election to reflect population changes revealed by the census. The perfect House district would have 39,582 residents, and an ideal Senate district would have 79,163. All ready in settled law, districts must have “substantially equal” populations.
The lines certainly can be contested and more than likely be decided by the Nero Robbed Fascists.
Nine Senate districts — all represented by Republicans — have 10,000 more people than the ideal size; 20 House districts held by Republicans are “overpopulated” by more than 5,000 people.
The house of DFL cards is falling.
