Joe Monahan (10/4/21) on Possible All-Democratic New Mexico Map (NEW MEXICO)

New Mexico political blogger Joe Monahan (h/t Dave Wasserman) reports on a map under consideration (appearing to the left) that would likely convert the Land of Enchantment's U.S. House delegation from the current 2-1 to 3-0 Democratic (LINK; I couldn't find a way to link to Monahan's specific posting on the map, so you'll need to scroll down to it once you reach his blog). 

Under the current map, there is a clear northern NM seat (CD-3, D-leaning), a clear southern NM seat (CD-2, currently GOP-held, but occasionally won by Democrats when they have a national landslide), and an Albuquerque seat (CD-1, D-leaning). 

The proposed map would feature "sideways-L" shapes for the 2nd and 3rd districts, with the effect of taking conservative territory out of the 2nd and putting some liberal territory (on the west and south sides of the Albuquerque area) into it.
