Thank you for that.

I do think these "laws" need some alterations, though.

Sucks, losing the State House in particular. Just when the rural areas and Iron Range start voting more GOP the suburbs start stinking. It’s much the same story in Illinois. I think we can get MN-2 (Trump did carry it) back but MN-3 might be a write off.

Collin Peterson needs to be heavily targeted in 2020, we can not tolerate “Red” district democrats voting for Pelosi any longer.

Of course MN is gonna lose a seat if I’m not mistaken, I’m guessing 7 and 8 will become single Northern CD so we may win it next time only for it to vanish next election.

Holding the State Senate and/or taking back the House in MN in 2020 is critical to prevent a rat gerrymander.

They are also ripe for out state kids voting when they should be voting from their home ballot.. or worse, voting in both places.

a huge problem.

This is part of the met counsels evil plan with affordable housing and requirements to have so much of it.

it moves inner city liberal votes (of all races) in to areas that normally go strong republican.

it’s happening out here in greatest MN as well.. our rents are low enough people who qualify for section 8 but are on waiting lists can get an apartment and be able to actually pay for it.

You’ve lost your mind. There are 31 states where both houses are R controlled. We’d have 62 R senators right now but dead heads like you refuse to acknowledged that. So bite me.

And how many times has it been told to you that you’re not going to get ANY Conservative Senators out of that, but a whole army of left-wingers with the single intent to send trillions of dollars (that we don’t have) to their states ? No legislature would ever elect a member pledged to curb spending, because those $$ would go to another state.

But, hey, keep living in that fantasy world. I’d be more concerned that you’re a year away from having a complete Communist takeover of your state at the legislative level, and your argument about empowering such cretins to choose your Senator even more invalid.

Consider yourself bitten.

Thanks so much for all your info. Much appreciated!

You kept us in positive spirits.

Thanks again.

Life happens. Two years ago I never thought that I would vote for Trump. Then a humble uneducated hairdresser said she was voting for Trump because “he calls ‘em like he sees ‘em”. Opened my eyes. She was right.

Thanks.

NM-2, counted all and called, for the rat, late precincts south of the border? 230-205 if no other losses, Polquin most worrisome still much to count. sigh.

Tell that to speaker Reed, who despite the majority could not get his caucus together without destroying the party.
