The latest Congressional map that was approved by the Illinois legislature on Thursday is different from the last proposal, but is a massive, meandering mess.
Fayette County is the southernmost area of the district—as you can clearly see the county’s cutout in the district map. The district goes west and runs to just outside Edwardsville. It also goes east and northeast and will include Mattoon, Taylorville, Shelbyville and runs up to Decatur. Then it runs further and jags north and west and eventually takes in a massive swath of western Illinois and includes Quincy and runs all the way to just south of the Quad Cities. It is the new 15th Congressional District.
