IL-Dems have dropped their proposed House map. While this is not final, expect the final version to be pretty similar. Highlights of this map include:
IL-13 (now IL-4) goes from Trump +3.5 to Biden +11
IL-17 (now IL-8) goes from Trump +2 to Biden +6
IL-14 (now IL-5) goes from Biden +2 to Biden +8
IL-3 goes from Biden +12 to Biden +6 (Newman will not be happy)
A little surprising Dems omitted Freeport and Sterling from the new IL-8 which could have given them a Biden +8 district in a portion of the state that’s trending away from them. Nevertheless, this should provide Dems with a 14-3 delegation in a neutral political environment.
