Cool and illinois should redraw with super thin lines coming from the northeast corner of the state like a star or sun beems coming out and im sure new york and california and such can do similar. Sorta /s as I don't really want to tit or tat this but sorta not as im not sure if we can do anything else to fight this crap. I don't want to disenfranchise blue state republicans but the republicans have started this bs.
Not sure about CA and NY, but IL probably can't do much. It's heavily gerrymandered already. Out of 17 Illinois House seats, the democrats already hold 14. Texas republicans currently hold 25 of 38 seats. They have a lot more opportunity for shenanigans than IL does though it would be great if Pritzker could redistrict Mary "Hitler was right" Miller out of office.
I'm hoping CA and NY can do something.
I’m assuming you already know about the Illinois district that’s shaped like a U?
Oh yeah but that stuff has been somewhat limitedly done in the chicago area. Im talking about striping chicago into the whole state. Now granted im kidding but if they are going to do these things with texas and florida im not so sure its not the way to go.
