Gerrymandering remains a significant issue in Illinois, according to recent discussions and reports. The process of drawing legislative maps has been criticized for being influenced by partisan politics, which some argue undermines fair representation for all citizens in the state.

The call to action is clear: "We have to remove partisan politics from the legislative map-making process to end gerrymandering and ensure every Illinois citizen is fairly represented."

Recent election results in Illinois have highlighted the negative impact of gerrymandering, as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. The concern is that current practices may skew representation and affect electoral outcomes.
