So, does New Mexico get a Hispanic district? You get one with a racial split of Albequerque, with the added benefit of putting all the Democrats in 1 district.

Well, you can draw 2 McCain districts (though only by like 2 points each), but I don't think the Democratic-Controlled State Legislature would like that map.  Also, doing so would create a Hispanic-majority district, but it would be a Republican one rather than the Democratic one (Mostly due to the Strongly D Native vote, along with plenty of urban White Liberals around Santa Fe).  Remember that the most Hispanic district in NM is actually the 2nd, which is the most Republican.
