JB Pritzker is leaving the door open to changing Illinois\u2019 congressional maps to \u201ccounterbalance\u201d an attempt by Texas politicians to add more Republican seats to the U.S. House.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas legislature is meeting in special session this week with <a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/news\/post\/governor-abbott-announces-special-session-agenda-\">18 items on their agenda<\/a>, including redrawing the state\u2019s congressional maps after President Donald <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsnationnow.com\/politics\/texas-redistricting-electoral-map-midterms-trump\/\">Trump urged the state<\/a> to redraw district boundaries ahead of the 2026 midterm election in hopes of adding five more Republicans to Texas\u2019 congressional delegation and insulating his party against any seats they might lose elsewhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker blasted the move at an unrelated event in Chicago on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we ought to play by the rules \u2013 everybody \u2013 and I think we ought to have an election in 2026,\u201d Pritzker told reporters. \u201cWe\u2019ll see who comes out ahead in the Congress. But I think cheating the way the president wants to is improper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Redrawing legislative maps typically happens once a decade after the national census, though sometimes states have been ordered by courts if their legislative maps violated voting rights laws. Texas Republicans also <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/5411930-texas-republicans-redraw-congressional-districts\/\">redrew<\/a> the state\u2019s congressional maps in the mid-2000s to add more Republican-leaning districts.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker didn\u2019t rule out the thought of Illinois Democrats redrawing congressional districts to add more Democrat-leaning districts in response to Texas.<\/p>\n<p>TEXAS DELEGATE<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all going to have to band together to try to address that; at least to try to stop them by letting them know that if we were doing what they were doing, in fact we would counterbalance and indeed take control of the Congress,\u201d Pritzker said.<\/p>\n<p>The process, however, would have to go through Illinois\u2019 legislature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not something we\u2019re pursuing,\u201d a spokesperson for Senate President Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Illinois Republicans blast comments\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pritzker\u2019s comments accusing Texas Republicans of \u201ccheating\u201d left Illinois Republicans furious. The party pushed through maps in 2021 with only Democratic support in a largely opaque remap process.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois\u2019 map divides the state\u2019s 17-member congressional delegation into 14 Democrat-leaning districts and three Republican-leaning districts. The three districts currently held by Republicans are mostly large, meandering rural areas Democrats didn\u2019t draw into districts they wanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s rich that the Governor now claims to support playing by the rules \u2014 after he enthusiastically signed into law the most gerrymandered maps in the nation,\u201d House Republican Leader Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, said in a statement. \u201cWhen it was convenient, he promised to reject partisan maps in favor of fair representation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ryan Spain, R-Peoria, also condemned gerrymander in other states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI disagree with efforts in other states to double down on further partisan gerrymandering, but I can make that statement because I voted against partisan gerrymandering in Illinois and have been dedicated to its elimination for many years,\u201d Spain said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois\u2019 current congressional map earned an F grade from the independent <a href=\"https:\/\/gerrymander.princeton.edu\/redistricting-report-card?planId=receAu6OJuYEkxKjG\">Princeton Gerrymandering Project<\/a>, finding the map fails in every category on political fairness and competition and geographic compactness.<\/p>\n<p>CONGRESSIONAL MAPS<\/p>\n<p>The 16th District represented by Rep. Darin LaHood runs from south of Bloomington to Galena and includes areas outside urban populations in Bloomington-Normal, Peoria and Rockford. The 15th District represented by Rep. Mary Miller includes much of central Illinois but is split in half by a Democrat-leaning district that runs right through the middle of it to include Champaign, Decatur, Springfield and the St. Louis suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>The 12th District represented by Rep. Mike Bost includes a large swath of southern Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Illinois Democrats could expand the map to create 15 Democrat-leaning districts remains to be seen, as even maps drawn for partisan gain must meet legal requirements, including for compactness, as outlined in state and federal voting rights laws.<\/p>\n<p>The map was signed in 2021 by Pritzker after the House Democrats\u2019 lead mapmaker, Rep. Lisa Hernandez, D-Cicero, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/house\/transcripts\/htrans102\/10201001.pdf\">admitted<\/a> during debate over the maps that \u201cpartisan advantage\u201d was considered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Candidate Pritzker\u2019s position\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a candidate for governor in 2018, Pritzker said he opposed gerrymandered maps and supported an independent mapmaking commission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI 100% oppose gerrymandering,\u201d Pritzker said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JBPritzker\/status\/951164205306138624?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email\">2018 social media<\/a> post two months before he would go on to win the Democratic nomination for governor. \u201cLegislative districts should adhere to both the Federal and Illinois Voting Rights Acts, and I support redistricting reform that advances fairness and removes politics from the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have filed legislation to create an independent redistricting commission and take the power away from lawmakers, but it has never been considered by the General Assembly under Democrat control.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have filed multiple lawsuits to try to force an independent commission to redraw the maps, but they have failed early in the court process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/\">C<em>apitol News Illinois<\/em><\/a><em> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.
