Even though it was a Republican-governed state, they were able to do shit like give illegal immigrants corporate IDs and then use those to vote

And this is why we need voter id’s

We need STRICT voter ID.

Government-issued, citizenship required.

@Nuke yeah we need to invest as much as possible in securing the elections

Courts were actually abusing their power to rule this unconstitutional in many jurisdictions.

@GermanEastAfrica by the way, how was your time in the lefty discords?

sort of missed a letter in 'German', it spells out 'Germa'

I nearly got into the mother of all socialist discord’s but I got banned because the mods were ADHD and banned me because I did my have the link right away.

good efforts though

dm me if there was anything in particular about that you wanted to share

And no dice on the one that tried to infiltrate us. The customs just didn’t do anything.

I nor any other people could get in.

Ah well

I did make the joke with Reptile that we should start our own clothing brand based off the server.

Or rather merchandise based off the server.

Yeah, Red Storm merch!

US House of Representatives

District 1

Jimmy Lee Tilman II

This is a safe democrat seat held by Bobby Rush (D) and covers a good chunk of the South Side of Chicago and extends into the southwest burbs. It is a predominantly black district, with 51.3% of the population black.

District 2

There are three Republicans running for this seat.

Patrick Harmon
David Merkle
John Marrow
This is another safe Democrat seat on the south side of Chicago and extending along the state line of Indiana down to Kankakee. Robin Kelly (D) is the incumbent.

District 3

This is a safe (D) race and I will not give text to the only (R) on the ballot since he is a self described holocaust denier. Here is the Open Letter the Republicans from Illinois wrote to him.

District 4

Mark Wayne Lorch
This is another safe (D) seat that Luis Gutierrez is giving up. It encompasses a very large Hispanic population in Chicago, on the near west sides, at 71.8%. It is also listed as one of the top ten most contorted congressional districts in the nation due to redistricting.

District 5

Tom Hanson
Another safe (D) district with incumbent Mike Quigley (D) running a somewhat contested primary on the D side of things. It is in the mostly white part of Chicago, the north and west sides encircling the 4th District. The only good news is that if Rob Sherman (G) who used to run as a (D) gets enough votes in the general to peel off votes from Quigley to give Hanson a shot. But it is a long shot.

District 6

Peter Roskam
This is a lean to likely Republican seat and Peter Roskam is a power house for the Illinois Republican Party. He was in the rumors to be Speaker of the House when Ryan took it. Reps decided to run unopposed on this one so that they can focus energy on the general. Hillary won this district in 2016. The dems have targeted this one as a key district to pick up and have fielded some of their best candidates they could in Illinois. This one will need to be active to keep in 2018.

District 7

Craig Cameron
Jeffrey Leef
This seat is currently held by Danny Davis (D). He has voted no on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (HR 36), Kate's Law (HR3004), No Sanctuary for Criminals Act (HR 3003) and the repeal of ObamaCare (HR 1628). He is the definition of a toe the line democrat having come up through the Chicago political machine. This is listed as a safe (D) seat. Leef has the endorsement of the Chicago Sun-Times fwiw.

District 8

Jitendra Diganvker
This is the seat that was redrawn just to get Tammy Duckworth into congress. It is the same district that Joe Walsh was in prior to the redistricting. It is currently held by Raja Krishnamoorthi and is an example of RINO republicans trying to play identity politics like the dems do. Since the redistricting, it has gone to the dems from 9%-16%. Reps have struggled to take this one back, but it is still listed as lean democrat and could be on the table for a contested race in November.

District 9

John Elleson
Max Rice
Sargis Sangari
D. Vincent Thomas Jr.
This seat is currently held by Jan Schakowsky (D), the wife of the infamous democratic political operative and convicted felon, Robert Creamer. This is an example of the mind numbing politics that is Illinois, as a good chunk of this district contains the most Republican in the greater Chicago area. Thomas has won the endorsements of local papers, but Elleson has the support of the National Republican party. Elleson is a supporter of term limits. He is also the most MAGA candidate on the ballot (read his answers to the Ballotpedia survey.
