US House Redistricting: New Mexico

Here's a version that makes a few swaps to improve incumbent chances, while generally avoiding county splits. CD 2 (green) is up to 53% McCain. Tribal areas are now all primarily in CD 3 (purple) which may or may not pose a problem.

Is your CD-1 entirely in Bernalillo County?  Or just in Bernalillo County and the county north of that, just on the southern fringes of that county?

It's hard to see on the state map, but I did extend into Rio Rancho in Sandoval county. This kept the reservations together on the west and south sides and the heavily GOP area with CD 2 on the east side of Bernalillo.

I am always pleased to hear from the resident expert. I doesn't hurt when I see my map is so close. It looks like Edgewood was the only significant area that I wasn't aware of that switched.
