Ray LaHood and Jim Nowlan: Illinois GOP should challenge voting district map in court. Here’s why it won’t. – Chicago Tribune*

"If something isn’t done to make the maps fairer, Illinois is saddled with overwhelming Democratic control of the legislature until at least 2042. How so? The legislature would be in charge of redistricting in the wake of the 2030 census."

70,000 more votes for Republicans than Democrats in the IL house in 2022, yet, a Democrat supermajority?

So true. An area near Rockford, Illinois is part of a district that snakes across Illinois from the Rockford area to the Mississippi River with some sections only being a few hundred yards wide. Why? Makes no sense and violates the compact and contiguous requirements. The Pritzger bought and paid for Illinois Supreme Court kneels at his feet for their instructions while proudly proclaiming they are adherents to the law and would not allow politics to influence decisions. Corrupt, period. Justice for Illinoisans only counts if you’re a democrat.
