U.S. House Redistricting: Illinois

I was bored and drew an awesome map for Illinois



The 5 downstate districts are all composed of whole counties, which I think is good

Red is +206
Blue/Purple is +501
Beige is -214
Orange is +822
Hot pink is +2689

Haha, the one that was 2689 deviation is a paltry 0.3% deviation, and the others are 0.1% or less.  Who cares.  Besides, the census numbers are already outdated.  You can't make it perfect if you tried

Def the most disgraceful map yet.  Not a surprise

What I support is common sense redistricting that respects communities and are derived from natural boundaries.

The problem YOU LIBERALS have is that if that were to happen across the board, you all would be relegated to a minority of 70-90% Democrat seats, while we would have a majority with seats that were 50-70% Republican.  Sorry guys-- not our fault democrats are crowded into a small number of districts.

The Missouri map could have been a little tidier but the outcome would have been the same.
Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma look good.  I hate Louisiana but we were forced to gerrymander it by an archaic racism statute
