If the GOP had a say in NM redistricting, I’d put Albuquerque/Bernalillo and Santa Fe in one seat for the Dems and draw 2 seats for the GOP.

Some parts of ABQQ vote GOP, but, yes, all of those heavily RAT areas (plus Taos and Indian reservations in other counties) could be combined in a single über-Democrat district that would have a Hispanic majority, and leave two GOP-leaning districts in the rest of the state (one of which could have a Hispanic majority as well).

I had actually fiddled with a 2 GOP/1 Dem map a few years back on Dave's Redistricting App.

Using the 2008 prez numbers:
Green: McCain 54%-46%
Blue: McCain 50.1%-49.8%
Purple: Obama 76%-24%

Basically the blue district is NM-1 with much of Albuquerque taken out and put in the third (purple district), then run up to Los Alamos and Huntington at the Colorado border.

I suspect I could make a better, and perhaps even a neater map.
