A few preliminary takeaways:

As expected, @VoteforDoris’ 48th Senate district picks up much of Springfield’s west side and drops GOP-trending Macoupin and Montgomery counties. Still probably a toss-up seat, but gives her a much better chance to win a full term. #twill

As for the House side, Rep. Sue Scherer’s Springfield-Decatur seat remains intact. But Rep. @AveryBourne’s is significantly altered and now appears to include @RepTimButler’s northend home.

It appears Macon County would pick up a fourth senator picking up southern portions of the county and a fourth House member would pick up portions of the western part of the county.

And who represents those seats might change too.

It appears Sen. Sally Turner’s 44th district would pick up portions of Macon County from @SenChapinRose.

The southern part of the county, currently split between Turner and Rose’s, would be picked up by a new senator, it appears.

Sangamon County would continue to have three senators and actually would go from having five House members to four.

Sen. Steve McClure’s home appears to be in the 54th Senate District, which picks up much of the former 48th in Macoupin/Montgomery and stretches to Effingham.

It’d be a big change has his current district stretches from the west side of Springfield to the Mississippi River.

Interesting Senate map in west-central Illinois. Dem Sen. Dave Koehler’s swingy Peoria-based seat would stretch east to pick up parks of Bloomington-Normal and, presumably more Democratic votes.

Sen. @jasonbarickman loses parts of Blo-No, but district otherwise appears similar.

Sen. Neil Anderson’s Quad Cities-based district would stretch south to include Galesburg and Macomb, which both lean Democratic.

Again, want to stress that these are preliminary observations. We will know more when district-level maps are released and hearings are held next week!

And please excuse the horrible grammar in this thread. What can I say? It’s Friday night! 🤷‍♂️
