I just wish they would have done a better job with the map. Especially the Chicago area, which is indecipherable. I see this is from a Springfield paper. I guess the way the Chicago suburbs are districted is not considered very important down there.

It really is incredibly gerrymandered. That yellow strip running from Champaign to the St. Louis area is weird. So is the green one that runs from Galena to Rockford and then zigzags all over northern and central Illinois. And a whole bunch of others. Hmm....
