Part of an Illinois 13-3 Gerrymander. Here's the Downstate seats. 3R-2D. I didn't draw the rest of Chicagoland cuz I'm lazy, but I've seen it done in other maps and it complies with DRA. The other 11 Chicagoland districts would obviously be safe D. The two D seats in this map are 59% Obama 2008 (successor to Bustos's seat). It probably went for Clinton by about 8 points, and I made a point for it to capture every major city that she carried in the area. The other one is the Metro East-Springfield-Decatur-Champaign-Bloomington seat Obama 2008 carried with 60% that Clinton carried by about 11 points.



Edited to use the large map.
The AZ map was fine, but this makes the gerrymander the courts threw out in NC look like nothing. I don't know if there's any legal precedent for that in Illinois though. I do think all the greater Chicago districts can be democrat fairly easily. As for the Virginia map, doesn't the VRA require majority black districts? You might have to put Norfolk in with one of the two 40% black districts and leave VA 2 as swing to lean R. Still a solid 6D-4R-1 swing
