1. Well in the democratic city of Chicago this is my ward map:

We call it "The Lobster". It's not good when dems do it either.

2. Geez... How can they possibly say that is not gerrymandered.

I agree. It is wrong no matter who does it.

4. Corruption is really bad here. I think that is why we are about to elect a former federal prosecuter

to be our next mayor. She is also a black lesbian. She is way ahead in the polls. The feds are investigating Chicago and we really need a new plan to go forward. Fingers crossed Lori Lightfoot will be a good leader.

6. Many years ago we talked to the city about some integration work.

...got a tour of city hall, and a few Daley stories.The guy hadn't lived below the 34th floor for 30 years. Imagine if you could create districts 3 dimensionally. We couldn't play their game being just some youngsters from Madison.

5. Yep

This is my district.

7. Both parties are doing it...but of course the R's are worse because they control and have

controlled much more. We cannot have political people drawing these lines. What is so fucking difficult about that?

8. They timed it right in Wisconsin in 2010
