Maryland - They plan to leave Bartlett alone, and combine the eastern shore with PG county blacks to try to sink Harris.

Massachusetts - The current map is an obvious gerrymander to avoid a Worcester County district, or a Plymouth/Cape Cod district. They’ll eliminate Lynch or Frank and just shift the rest of the districts.

MI - Black majority: 13 and 14; they need to add 342K residents and 74K blacks.
The 9th should be dissolved, and the 12th should absorb the Democrat parts of the 9th (southeastern). Thus, 13 and 14 will shift north, but that will leave enough white Dems in Wayne-Washtenaw for Dingell, and he wouldn’t even need Monroe County.

MN - 4 & 5 (Twin Cities) need to add about 95K. 3 (suburban Mpls) is about 13K short. Michelle Bachmann has 96K more constituents than she needs, and Kline has 70K more. The 1st (south) is about 18K short, and the 7th (west) is about 37K short.

MS - 2 (Delta) needs to add 74K. Thompson won’t be in any trouble though.

MO - It looks like the plan is to combine 1st (Clay) and 3rd (Carnahan). Cleaver (KC) needs to add 115K; won only 53-44.
