BAD IDEA RESTORE THE pre 80 ILLINOIS CONSTITUION
Before the so called reform of the Illinois state constitution in the 80’s The Illinois state constitution called for 3 state representatives for each state Rep district. Two were from the majority party and one from the minority party.
During that time there was an active Republican party in Chicago. While the Mayor was held by the democrats the city council did have active Republican Republicans and some of the Cook county positions Sheriff and President were held by Republicans. it’S THE REASON REAGAN GOT ELECTED AND CARRIED uLLINOIS
That wouldn’t work. While you’d have legit Democrats in the GOP districts, the “Republicans” you’d have in Dem districts, especially no-mans’ land areas, would be leftist Demonrat puppets. That was already a problem by the 1970s. In fact, you’d likely not even have fake Republicans in those seats, but 3rd party leftists (which is what happened in Washington, DC, which guaranteed Republicans minority representation — both of those two seats are now held by ultraleftist “Independents”).
