"Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker campaigned in 2018 against partisan gerrymandering, saying he would 'pledge to veto' any 2022 map drawn by the state Legislature.... Gov. Pritzker now says he’ll be satisfied with a map drawn by his legislative allies. In a recent press conference he walked back his veto pledge and scored Republicans for objecting to Democratic-controlled redistricting."
What a crock. One day, some how and some way, like D said, they will be out of power entirely.

Article fails to mention that Trump got 40% of IL’s 2020 vote but Republicans have only 27% of the house seats and roughly 30% of the legislature. The gerrymandering is really, *essential*, to maintaining power in a one-party state. Without gerrymandering, they’re not even a supermajority, and some off-years, they may even go out of power entirely.

He went to the Fauci school of flip flopping.
