Nary a republican in IL said a word when TX gerrymandered their state and SCOTUS gave their stamp of approval. All of a sudden it is a an "issue" when their party does not benefit from gerrymandering. And until SCOTUS squashes gerrymandering, why should IL change how we draw districts?

What our idiot gov neglects to realize is the districts in S IL like their dem rep/senator. We should remind the puke party that if they hadn't deemed Judy Baar-Topinka as "impure", she'd have been governor. Sadly she was the last real Republican IL had.
