It's not that orange isn't trying. It's that barely anyone lives in a large chunk of it.
To be fair, Minnesota pulls bro. By designing a map where each state must touch it relegates well performing states to seems less profitable than they are. Is Minnesota California? Fuck no. But should it seems like the state equivalent of the guy on the couch? Also no.
They still get 30 senators though.
