Jon Maxson, a spokesperson for Illinois House Speaker Emanuel Chris Welch, told The Hill in an email that "all options remain on the table in Illinois."
The trough is running low now that FJB is out of office and they are nervous. Wouldn’t you think they have the votes for the next election in the bag? Or at least in the suitcase under the table? Or in the van around the corner from the polling place?
Democrats will have enough legal votes that they won’t need to cheat.

All states need to be redistricted according to population of legal S citizens and be geometric in appearance. District should not determined by race or political party affiliation. US citizens are not being represented by the current gerrymandered districts. And proof of citizenship should be mandatory to be counted in the census. IL districts should be declared illegal.

Once again, it’s OK if Democrats gerrymander after census redistricting. But not OK for Republicans to gerrymander during non-redistricting years. Unless of course, Republicans threaten to redistrict, then it’s OK for Democrats to redistrict during non-redistricting years to counter what Republicans theoretically might do. See how that works? Ok ok?
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.
