In a former section of the 23rd ward now the 14th 2 patrons in the bar I was in were complaining about rats on their garbage. It’s not 55 wards it’s 50. F... Daley’s phony suggestion.It is like Quinn’s who killed off political party state house Rep Republican minority representation.
You talking about the old pre-1983 cumulative voting state House districts?
As nice as that sounds in theory I’m not sure that would work out so well for us now. Even back in the day weren’t there RINO infiltrators (Papa Daley!)? Today you’d have many districts still elect 3 democrats, and dems running as Republicans just to try to divide the GOP vote (or idiot Republicans failing to nominate just one candidate all on their own). Meanwhile every GOP district would be guaranteed 1 rat.
You’d have to work to design a system actually assured of electing real Republicans from Chicago seats. One that can’t be gamed.
Washington DC has 5 at large council seats, no more than 3 can be won by any party . Once gay RINO Member David Catalina left the GOP they realized that didn’t mean the other 2 had to be Republicans, and left wing “independents” started running. One of the current ones literally just changed her registration to “I” in order to run.
