3)IL-19(Shimkus-R) district gets eliminated. Springfield portion goes to IL-17, St Louis portion goes to IL-12. rest goes to IL-15.

How interesting. Please, tell me more.

I will continue to point out to the Democrats here that the more Republican areas of the state (Sacramento suburbs, San Joaquin Valley, Inland Empire) have been the fastest growing.  Unless the bursting of the housing bubble has dramatically undone this migration (unlikely, given how the housing market is heating up again), it will be difficult to eliminate the "marginal" districts.  It's also dubious how marginal some of them are, especially if they survived the scandals and wave elections of '06 and '08.

Also, ask yourself whether Darrell Steinberg (term limited in 2014) is more interested in a safe urban Sacramento seat (Matsui won't stay in office forever), or a diluted, mixed urban-suburban-rural seat.  California state legislators don't have that long in office, and they gerrymandered the Congressional districts last time with that in mind.

I was not suggesting that we make marginal districts like Lungren-CA-3,Calvert-CA-44,and Bilbray-CA-50 by trading Democratic voters in neighboring Safe Democratic Districts.

You haven't paid attention to VRA-required minority districts. IL-7 cannot afford to lose its western end to IL-4 since that reduces the Black vote in IL-7 and the Hispanic vote in IL-4. If IL-7 compensates by moving into IL-1 and 2 too far, then it is very hard to keep both those districts majority Black. In any case neither IL-1 or IL-2 can go anywhere near Kendall without antirely sacrificing their Black majority.

IL-7 will stay the same in the west and add just enough from IL-1 to add the necessary population. IL-1 moves into IL-3 in far SW Cook and IL-2 may stretch down to eastern Kankakee to add the needed population. There aren't many options to maintain three Black-majority seats.

The easiest move for IL-4 is into IL-3's Chicago and near Cook suburban area. Projections indicate that combining the northern part of IL-4 with parts of IL-5 and IL-6 will permit the formation of a second Hispanic-majority seat. Again this constrains a lot of the moves you suggest.

Illinios Redistricting plan.

IL-4 (Guitteriez-D)- absorbs the central portion of the old IL-7. will be a 85-15 Obama-D. will remain a Hispanic Majority District.
IL-5(Quigley-D)-absorbs- the northern DuPage and Cook County portion of IL-6. will be a 65-35 Obama-D- Quigley-D remains safe.
IL-6(Roskam-R)-absorbs the Western portions of IL-4 and IL-7. will be a 75-25 Obama-D will become Hispanic Majority District- Roskam-R loses re-election.
IL-7(Whoever replaces Davis-D)- absorbs the Eastern portion of the old IL-5. will be an 80-20 Obama district but it will be a minority coalition district. The White Liberal voters from old IL-5 will replace minority voters that went to IL-6.

IL-8(new District-D)- It consist the portions of the old IL-1,IL-2,and IL-3. It will be a 75-25 Obama District. It will be a coalition majority District.
IL-9(Bean-D) no change- Bean-D is pretty safe. 55-45 Obama-D District.
IL-10(Shakowsky-D)- trades the Cook County portions with the new IL-10. It will be a 65-25 percent Obama-D District.
IL-11(Seals-D or Hamos-D)- see IL-10. It will be a 65-35 percent Obama-D District.
IL-12 (Halverson-D)- absorbs the Will County portion of the old IL-13. It will be a 55-45 percent Obama-D District.

IL-14 (Foster-D) remains the same. Foster-D is favored to win re-election. 55-45 Obama District.
IL-15(Johnson-R vs Schimkus-R)- It will be a 55-45 McCain-R District. Safe Republican.
IL-16 (Manzullo-R)- no change- It will be a 55-45 Obama District-
IL-17(Hare-D)-absorbs Springfield Portion of IL-19- It will be a 55-45 Obama District- Safe. DEM.
IL-18(Schrock-R)- absorbs portions of the old IL-15. It will be a 55-45 McCain District- Safe GOP.

I know it's not a dem held legislature. But can you do Florida?

Minority coalition districts are not supported by the VRA. IL-7 will have to remain Black-majority to qualify so you cannot take the central and western parts to form other districts without losing a majority-minority district.

The Hispanic areas needed to make two districts from the current IL-4 are in the current IL-3 and 5. There's only a sliver of Hispanic-majority area in IL-6 and it doesn't abut the population in IL-4 without going through IL-5. Nobody lives in the western loop of IL-4, it primarily consists of parks, railways and cemeteries.

Your proposal for a Dem in IL-5 may work, but it won't be Quigley unless he moves. He lives in the eastern part of his district with most of its population. To have Quigley still live in a district that stretches across northern DuPage would have too many people. If you take out the Hispanic parts of his district which are in the west, the remainder will have to come from Schakowsky's district.

You don't explain what happens to the western part of Biggert's district which includes Naperville. It's been one of the fastest growing areas of the state and leans R. Foster's district includes the fastest growing county in the nation and he has to lose population. You don't say what areas he loses and where those areas end up.

  Last year I tried to redraw Illinois Congressional Districts based on projected populations--including Chicago neighborhoods. (Muon 2, I believe I sent you a copy of the maps I mdae)
  I do not belive it is possible to get rid of a downstate district.  For one, they took the hit after the last census, so it would be politically unpopular to cut out anothe district there.  I figure there will be some combination of present day 5,9, and 10 into 2 districts instead of 3.

  Getting Il-4 to be remain Hispanic is no problem.  It was an incredibly difficult balancing act to get Il-1,Il-2, and Il-7 to all remain majority African American.  I recall keeping the portion of Illinois 7 west of the Chicago River and then expanding south into both Il-1 and north into present Il-5, and 9.  Also Il-1 became a long north-south Corridor between Blue Island/Robbins in the south and Rogers Park in the north.  Il-2 took in much of Il-1's suburban areas.  Anyways, my projection had all 3 with just over 50% AA population.  After 2020, you will likely see two Hispanic Districts and 2 African American districts as the AA population of Chicago has become/is becoming too dispersed to populate 3 districts.

  I belive that the districts that had to shed people were 16, 11, and 14.

  I would post the maps, I made but do not know how.

Bill Foster-(IL-14)- took in the NorthWest Will County portion of IL-11(Halverson plus the Northern LaSalle County portion of IL-11 as well as the IL-16(Manzullo-R) NorthWest DeKalb County Base.
The Remaining Parts of IL-16. plus the Northern parts of IL-17(Hare-D) (Whiteside,Rock Island,Mercer,Henderson,and Most of Warren County were combined. This placed Phil Hare-D and Don Manzullo-R in the same District -which favors Hare-D in the general election matchup.
Debbie Halverson-(IL-11) picked up Peoria,Putnam,Marshall and Stark portions of IL-18(Schrock-R) plus the the Knox and Henry portion of IL-17(Hare-D). The new IL-11 remains a safe Dem District.
The new IL-17th District- took in the remaining parts of the old IL-17 plus took in the Cass,Morgan,Montgomery,Christian,Sangamon,Macon,Moultrie,Piatt and portions of Champaign County- This district is as Springfield,DeCatur,Urbana-district- leans Democratic.

I created a Republican leaning district that can place (Schrock-R,Johnson-R and Schimkus-R) in the same District- new IL-18. It takes in the remaining parts of the old IL-18 plus it takes in the McLean,DeWitt,Champiagn,Douglas,and Coles portion of IL-15 and the Shelby,Northern Fayatte,Bond,and Madison, portion of IL-19 including Schimkus's home in Collinsville.
The other district includes the Eastern part of IL-15 and IL-19.
This plan forces Biggert-R to retire and makes Roskam the underdog in the General Election because most of the district from the new IL-13 is from the new IL-13. Roskam can run in the new IL-6 but he would have to face a Bean or Foster like Democratic opponent. and face voters in Elgin. +2D -2R
Manzullo-R also ends up losing because he and Hare-D are placed in the same District. We create a new District that includes all of Springfield,DeCatur,Urbana,and Southern portion of the old IL-17. +3D -3R

That leaves us Schrock,Johnson,and Schimkus. -one or both of these guys will be loser.
