MA: Boston + inner suburbs over-represented; southeastern Mass and Cape underrepresented. Crazy that reps from Sharon, Newton, Worcester, and Southie represent the whole area.

Chicago will continue to have, I think, 5 reps after this election, which is a sizable overrepresentation. Unless Gutierrez or Quigley lives in a suburb.

The metro Twin Cities have the same problem Boston has... both MN-6 and MN-8 have sizable non-metro populations represented by a Republican very close to the cities themselves at one extreme of the district. But that MN-8 problem may be cleared up soon.
