Redistricting Made Fun


This past Saturday, I listened to The NARN (Northern Alliance Radio Network on 1280 AM The Patriot) as I usually do. Host Mitch Berg had MNGOP Chairman Tony Sutton and Deputy Chairman Michael Brodkorb on to discuss redistricting.
They explained the minutiae of redistricting, as well as the partisan forces battling over how the state will redraw it's legislative districts. On one side, you have Sutton, Brodkorb, and GOP Minnesotans For Fair Redistricting. On the left, you have The Midwest Democracy Network, Common Cause, The League Of Women Voters, The Joyce Foundation, and a 15-member 'non-partisian' commission that goes by the name of Draw The Line.

Sutton and Brodkorb stated their desire that this process be fair, and they wanted to avoid gerrymandering . Yeah, I already knew that. 'Pubs think in terms of morality, logic, and fairness, and Dems use sneaky lawyering to subvert our governmentzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

We at The RedSquirrel Report have discovered an exciting,  new group entering this fray, called "ReDraw Me MN!"

ReDraw Me MN founder, Sunny Swanson says that her organization wants to take the partisan haggling out of this process. ReDraw Me MN is offering any Minnesota resident a $10,000 National Endowment For The Arts grant for the best redrawn map.

This bushy-tailed reporter will enter this contest. I reside in Minnesota District 5, a dhimmicrat stronghold represented by Congressman-for-life, Keith Ellison. My entry will  include a District 5 that's drawn in the shape of a crescent.
