*** UPDATED x1 *** More remap stuff
Monday, Oct 18, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller * New York Times…
Only if you’re looking at presidential results…
2022 is an off-year election and President Biden’s trend ain’t the Democrats’ friend. And many (not all) congressional Dems underperformed Biden last year. Not saying that this map wouldn’t result in 14-3, but it ain’t a slam dunk when you factor in reality. A bunch of those districts could be tossups. * Not sure why counties are always supposed to be kept together, but OK…
* Koutsky has close ties to a top Durbin person…
* Wasserman, who is better at numbers than political analysis, wasn’t impressed by the effort…
* Question from Crain’s…
This is not intended to be the final map. The chair of the House Redistricting Committee specifically called the proposal a “first draft” on Friday. So, no, it won’t survive. By design. * The truth is, anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can submit a map, and several will before this is over…
* And some tweeters actually thought this obvious spoof was for real, which I thought was hilarious…

*** UPDATED x5 *** New congressional maps released
Friday, Oct 15, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller * Press release…
Demographics are here. As expected, there’s only one Latino district. *** UPDATE 1 *** Democrat Marie Newman and Republican Adam Kinzinger are in the same district (CD3). *** UPDATE 2 *** Republicans Mary Miller and Darin LaHood are in the same district (CD16). Also, US Rep. Robin Kelly’s district now goes south to… Ashkum in Iroquois County, and even further west it goes south past Fairbury in Livingston County. …Adding… ILGOP…
…Adding… Durkin…
*** UPDATE 3 *** You can view this map as a series of messages to some Democrats and Democratic constituencies. For instance, the message to Newman seems to be: You have a choice between running against Kinzinger with relatively few Chicago precincts or you can represent a Latino district. I’m told Newman made huge demands and was generally uncooperative. …Adding… Kinzinger…
*** UPDATE 4 *** Rodney Davis currently lives in what will be the 15th District, which does not appear to lean Democratic, despite what some other outlets are reporting. Tribune…
Both of those articles appear to claim he’s in the 13th CD. Nope. Click here to look up Davis’ home address, then click here and input that address into the map search and see for yourself. …Adding… Leader McConchie…
…Adding… Rodney Davis…
…Adding… US Rep. LaHood…
…Adding… A very unhappy Democratic incumbent…

*** UPDATED x1 - ILGOP gloats *** ILGOP actually raised more federal/state/local cash than DPI during third quarter
Friday, Oct 15, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller * Politico…
DPI’s state report showed the party raised just $65K in cash during the quarter. The other $35K came in the form of in-kind IT services contributions from several individuals at a data company in Delaware. * The Illinois Republican Party reported raising $75K in cash during the quarter, but reported no in-kinds. Two years ago, DPI reported raising $334K in cash and the ILGOP raised $36K. …Adding… ILGOP spokesperson Joe Hackler points out that the Republican Party also outraised DPI on the federal level, pulling in $223K to the Democrats’ $186K. Hilarious. Also, the state DPI committee transferred $70K to its federal committee, but I’m not sure if that was double-counted above or not. * Back to the story…
Thoughts? *** UPDATE *** Heh…
