The Minneapolis-Saint Paul district is dead as a concept.

He's not going to change his mind on this one.

Minnesota lawmakers and/or judges will certainly find a way to draw a map with one district including Minneapolis and another district including St. Paul, even if it does not provide every rural resident with the shared representation they would have chosen for themselves.

I don't know, I can see a Supreme Court ignoring past precedents (especially when shifting from 8 to 7) and taking into account sentimentality about anchoring different districts in each of the two twin cities, even if they are now combined smaller than one district. It just doesn't seem unthinkable to me.

I think ND's population would have to increase by 80% or more to get a second district. The oil boom is not increasing population of that magnitude.

Arizona is recovering more quickly than Nevada, and Phoenix is much larger and has a more diverse economy than Las Vegas.
