In a baffling turn of events, the media actually questioned whether Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is really qualified to be the standard bearer against gerrymandering on account of his state being more rigged than a south side backroom poker game.
KRISTEN WELKER: I do want to look at the map of Illinois. Let’s take a look at this: despite President Trump winning 44% of the statewide vote in 2024, Republicans hold only three of Illinois’s 17 districts. These districts seem to be to maximize Democratic advantage. What do you say to those who argue that it’s hypocritical for you to criticize Texas for partisanship when your state also drew maps to boost your party’s standing?
JB PRITZKER: Well, remember that what Texas is trying to do is, again, violate the Voting Rights Act. We didn’t. We held public hearings, legislative hearings. People attended them. They spoke out. There was a map that was put out. There were actually changes made to the map and a map was passed
What does any of that mean? Well they held hearings and people attended them and then the state was gerrymandered well above what Texas wants to do.
In Illinois, where Trump won 43% of the vote, there are 14 Democrats and only 3 Republicans for 82% control by the ruling party. Even if Texas were to go ahead with its plan, it would be at 78% Republican control.
Pritzker and Dems keep talking about the Voting Rights Act because their only comeback isn’t defending their gerrymandering, it’s claiming that their gerrymandering isn’t racist (because it disenfranchises white people alone.)
He would be a good candidate for the Democrats to run, because he is so disgusting I don’t think he could win.
What is repulsive to normal people with sight vision and a properly functioning brain is attractive for democrats.
Yes, has that jiggly fat boy ever looked in his bathroom mirror? Not that he’d fit in the mirror. He’s white.
And have you noticed how bad all the D-Bag “front runners” are? They’re ridiculous attention whores like Jizzmine Crockett (she acts like she’s in her twenties but the bitch is in her forties,) retards like Alexandra Ocrazio Cortez, abject failures like Grease head Newscum and jokes like Hawkloogie Jeffries. And we all know Bernout Sandernista will crawl out from under his rock again. Commies are notorious for showing up where they’re unwanted.
Why these idiots are campaigning for a campaign season that’s more than two and a half years away is beyond me. I don’t even like discussing it. It’s like picking out the clothes you’re going to wear on a specific day two and a half years in the future.
Democrats have gerrymandered and cheated in every election for decades and the Republicans did absolutely nothing to stop it. Every time a Republican majority has tried to redistrict the Dems take them to court and win. Again, Republicans did absolutely nothing for decades to address the judicial bias against them. Same goes for institutionalized, weaponized control of the education system. If the Freedom Center were a left-wing organization the Democrats would be steering gobs of money toward it. But the dumbass republican party wants nothing to do with “the far right” lol. They don’t call them the stupid party for nothing. They’ll jump in and take a few weak swings after Trump has fought like hell and beat the shit out of them.
Yeah, it goes back at least to Truman. I was surprised once reading him talking openly about cheating in elections. Daniel’s book shows it goes way back farther even than that.
I believe Illinois has one district that looks like a worm that swallowed a brick.
Their long, thin 13th and 15th that encompasses it on three sides are particularly ridiculous.
I just wonder where this pathetic little pipsqueak came from
From Hyatt hotels – the family knew he was not needed in the business.
Little? Dough Boy is fat enough to be a carnival freak.
Obama got his start in politics because the Chicago political machine designed a district for him in the state senate.
But I’m reminded that it’s racist to use “Obama” and “Chicago political machine” in the same sentence.
Isn’t that about the time he started to pretend his name is Obama instead of his real name, Soetoro? After he came back from whichever Near East camel pen that funded his education and probably his campaign?
The irony is this unobservant jew is the stereotype of the worst aspects of jewish behavior whether real or imagined.
But in the case of Pritzker it is there in the flesh and in this case a grand surplus of flesh.
Easily one of the most despicable politicians of all time.
Congress should attempt to make some kind of law stipulating that Congressional districts be divided up based on total party votes in Presidential elections within each state. If the donkeys braying about their Democracy applies to anyone but themselves. Of course, I am not naive enough to think it doesn’t.
Yes, votes should be statewide. There shouldn’t be any voting districts.
Removing the illegals will change a LOT of those States’ representations! That’s why they fought so hard to keep them the last time! Oh, and then the “errors” that resulted in Red States being cheated out of five or six seats that were illegally and “erroneously” given to blue states! That is a ten to twelve seat swing right there! Odd all the “errors” seem to favor the DEMOcrats/HYPOCRITES!
is this the same pritzker that dresses as a woman . ? what obscene amounts of money ,no talent and no morals can produce . astounding !
