Corruption is cemented in Illinois when politicians draw political maps to protect their incumbents and their party’s chances of winning the most seats in an election.
Republicans did it in Illinois after the 1990 census and Democrats have been doing it ever since because they’ve won control of the mapmaking process.
Maps drawn by political leaders result in far fewer competitive and contested races, something you might notice when you cast your Primary Election ballot. In essence, your choices are being taken from you.
