On Monday, CHANGE Illinois released Removing Politics From Local Remapping: A Path Towards Fair and Equitable Representation. This is a comprehensive report that provides an analysis of 2021 Chicagoland County Board redistricting, focusing on the 7-county Chicago Metropolitan Area: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties. Authored by CHANGE Illinois Policy Director Eli Brottman, the report analyzes various aspects of the recent redistricting process, including racial equity, partisan bias, compactness, and public input, along with providing examples to show how the county board maps can be improved. The report concludes with strong recommendations on how counties can improve their redistricting process and be a guiding example of how nonpartisan redistricting can be done locally and across the nation. The report details issues with transparency and public input in the mapping process, improvements that can be made in racial equity and compactness of districts, and clear instances of partisan gerrymandering in a couple counties. CHANGE Illinois is a nonpartisan nonprofit focused on equitable democracy, including fair maps, voting access, and ethics reform.
