I think the more interesting statistical comparison is population per square mile of land area:
- Michigan 174.8, Minnesota 66.6. (Michigan's population is 86% higher than Minnesota's.)
Minnesota will have a harder time putting districts within easy driving distance of the rural population.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
