Harmon’s claim that inclusion will be at the center of this process is dubious; no information has been released about the data lawmakers plan to use for the remap, nor what principles and guidelines the redraw will follow. And hearings begun this past week show little evidence of effort to include under-served voices.
What a joke all this districting stuff is and has been. In my area there is as congressional district that goes from the Mississippi River, state line with Iowa, east into the Rockford area, a thin little strip of district that winds around like a slinky. Another district goes from the Champaign/Urbana area all the way north to the Wisconsin border again weaving and dodging in a frantic pattern of a district that looks like a blindfolded monkey drew it. The whole process is a joke.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

And how they get away with the election fraud. Wake up Illinois
