Illinois Redistricting Megathread

Has anyone run your 14-3 maps through the 2020 Presidential data? I’m away from my computer for a few days so do not have that ability.

Mines not 14-3, but it instead its 13-4 using 2020 Prez data. IL-15 is only a lean R

Made another 13-4 map, but this time I made the downstate dem snake end at Bloomington instead of Dansville. The Dem districts in the Chicago area are more solidly blue this time as well.

I finally was able to draw a 14-3 Dem Gerrymander of Illinois! My map has Kinzinger district's get axed and the Chicago suburb dem incumbents are more shored up. Rodney Davis and Mary Miller have to fight it out in the GOP Primary, Darin LaHood hometown is entirely in Underwood's district, so he would have to move out of the city to run in the R sink of this new 17th district. This is like the messiest map ever. lol

Brad Schneider would not be happy with this

Schneider is in the darker blue 10th district, not the 16th district in my map. Biden sti won this hypothetical 10th district by a comfortable 10% margin.

I feel like vomiting.

How do you think Dems feel when looking at the NC maps Republicans look likely to draw?

Why do you have a Blue avatar again? lmao

I expect NY and MD to be just brutal for the GOP as well.

Here's my attempt to create a GOP Gerrymander for IL. Trump won 9 seats and Biden 8 seats. Most of the R seats are still close and could be come a very bad dummymander in a blue leaning year.

Illinois updated their map

Is that plan 14-3 D or 15-2 D? I can't tell.

[Thunder98]

This is the most egregious big state gerrymander I have made yet. lmao, It's 11D-2R and the the closest Dem seat is only 9.9% Biden, ever other D seat is double digit Biden. This map is actually good enough on VRA with 2 Hispanic seats and 3 AA seats.

I was able to draw a compact 11D-6R Congressional map that is 100% proportianality or -6.27% bias.
