Interesting. Like the author, I was expecting the GOP success of 2010 to have a real effect here.

I'm now in the 4th congressional district. Somehow, I don't have a lot in common with the folks that live on (not along) I294.

Democrats in control of redistricting in Illinois adopted a very aggressive plan that's likely to cost Republicans four seats. Democrats stretched Chicago districts out through the Cook County and Collar County suburbs to the downstate prairie and squeezed out Republicans there.

Redistricting is indeed a big deal here.

My Congresscritter, an odious individual if there ever was one, has been redistricted out of existence.

It remains to be seen whether his replacement is any less odious but I remain optimistic. :thumb:

Ridiculous lines there, George, but you already knew that.
