Illinois to Lose 2 Seats?
- When I was born Illinois had 24 seats in the US House of Representatives. Now there are only 18. Now Illinois is one of the few states consistently losing population. Yesterday the US Census Bureau released its latest population figures--and among the findings is that Pennsylvania passed up the Prairie State, it is now America's sixth-most populous state. The more than thirty-years of tyranny of state House Speaker Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat, and his public-sector union pals, is reaching its inevitable end. Illinois is a rotting corpse for maggots like Madigan to feed on.
Election Data Services in a press release reports that Illinois will lose another seat after the 2020 congressional reapportionment--and it may end up being the only state losing two seats. Boss Madigan is a master gerrymanderer--he'll find a way to increase the number of Democrats in the Illinois delegation, even though the biggest population drops are in the lockstep Dem strongholds of Chicago, particularly the West and South Sides, and its inner suburbs.
One would hope that Madigan was on his way out at some point, given that he's ruined the state, bankrupted its finances, driven out the working class of all races, and made Illinois increasing irrelevant on the national stage. But one would probably be mistaken.

There is a special place in hell for Madigan and Reed-winkle
Who wants to move here with all these assholes in the people's democratic republic of....
Illinois is becoming LESS important on the National scene - less population = less Reps.
People better wake up in Illinois.
No, he has a daughter to keep on giving...... The people of Illinois exactly what they deserve.

That wasn't the start of corruption in Ill.,
but it sure emboldened a lot of actors,

Now you know the Reason the Democrats Want Illegal Alien IDs,Population is not down If you count Illegals.
You keep electing this scum?
Sorry, my Give A Shits are shit out.
Don't worry,
The illegal aliens flocking to your Sanctuary City will make up for it.

If only the seats to be lost were occupied by Rahm and Madigan!
Back in the day, this kind of shit was handled with tar and feathers. Too bad that's not still a thing.
On way out? No way just getting started he has a daughter to protect until she gets job. He's just holding seat for her. It's the Chicago Way.
Less seats in the Illinois delegation mean less people opposing President The Donald.
good, maybe they will turn red
you can bet the two lost seats will be Republican
Michael the Maggot Madigan, got to love it!
The people that are leaving are anti-machine voters. The Exodus strengthens Madigan's majority. People get the government they deserve. Good and hard.
Tar and feathers still used at high end female day spas.
People of Illinois are stupid. They keep voting these goofs in office. Look at Blago under federal investigation and he gets re-elected. Watch this goof Berrios, office is in shambles, has his entire unqualified family working there (nepotism) and crooked tax assessments. He is ideal for office.
Let's start hounding the DOJ and anyone else in the Federal government we can with a letter writing and e-mail campaign to send in the investigators to put the board of elections under the microscope along with the rest of these demorat bastards. It's a joke how only one party (demorat) runs crook co. and chicago, and all of them are leftist ass kissers, or pocket stuffers, or both. Lavrenty Berria told Stalin "show me the man, and I'll show you the crime" .
Probably better if Illinois lost all their seats, the way they vote
Richie Daley gets a lot of the blame too.
Will the state lose all their reps when the whole state becomes totally dependent upon the welfare of all the other states? Taxpayers in other states may not be ready to support the federal government and a bankrupt liberal democrat failed state.
J.J.
Which is worse, a thief or the politician that sets the thief free? They should both hang from the same tree, side by side. There is no difference!
Being a corrupt, greedy, lying, conniving, disgusting piece of shit must be good for one's health. You'd think the stress of all that hard work would kill a guy young. No such luck for us.

Reapportionment ain't pretty. Back in the day, shits were taken in an outhouse too.
How about downsize government to save $$ Get rid of half the seats. Do the same across all governments. Downsize aldermen from 50 to 25.
I tire of the comments from people who think that a creep like Madigan can simply be voted out at the next election. If only it were that easy. Madigan has gerrymandered his district, loaded the public pay rolls with patronage workers who man his precincts, rigged the election laws to make ballot access much more difficult and even inserted shill candidates into the Republican column to make certain that he will not face a real opponent.
What needs to happen is for a real US Attorney to take Madigan out. That has never been a serious threat as the Feds have chosen to pursue lower pols and not the Big Tuna.
Even if Illinois were down to only four seats, it would still be all ghetto trash.
Madigan will stay in power until he dies.
But evil never dies.
Rostenkowski is also the ash#le who came up the ssa law that limits our social security
benefits. if you have a govt. pension you only get 40% of your benefits. every dollar you put in the govt keeps 60%. more crooks in this state than federal pens.
How old is Madigan. isn't he half baked anyway.
The Madigan-Cullerton death spiral continues.
And since everybody's blaming poor RINO Rauner for the mess Madigan, his Demokrats and RINOs have created over the past 2 decades, you can be sure that Fat Boy will be our next governor. That's what Illinois voters want.
In one year and a week, Porky gets sworn, and Dems will be in 100% control of the state again -- then the death spiral will kick into turbo speed. That's what Illinois voters want.
Merry Christmas to all
And to this state, it's good night

That's the same jagoff who made sure he reduced severely first responders social security! May he rot in hell cut from clothing as rahm who viciously took away CPD retired health care!
They are going to lose more than that before it's all over. The politicians don't lessen to the people who live here and don't understand what they want. So they move elsewhere!!
The only why Madigan is going out is feet first.
Psssst hey 1:06,
Census counts PEOPLE, not CITIZENS.
That means the "negative growth" illinois has experienced is with illegal aliens INCLUDED!
I submit to SCC readers that we will experience at LEAST 2 seat loss, if not more.
There will be no amnesty and self deportation will ramp up when its made known that tge wall is being built and being caught on this side of means you will be put on the other side of it absent ANY ability to come here legally ever.
Many are going to be suprised next year and the years ahead.
We re gaining population... illegals+ expired green card holders! Don’t kid yourself. 🤫
Where is our villiage idiot to say “but but but, there’s a huge building on elston....we have tons of wealthy people coming to Chicago.”
President Trump please give Sessions the green light to start an investigation on politicians in Chicago, Cook County and State of Illinois.

Rostenkowski that arrogant ass!
Surrounded by government employees and thought he could cut their Social Security benefits by 60% and think nobody would blow the whistle on this scam. I wrote to President Trump about this and you think Deano would have brought this up when he and other FOP brass visited Washington.
We need to make some noise about this.
Another reason Little Luis left office.
We should lose two seats, both Democrat.
It's really sick what one man has single handily done to Illinois. Even the democrats should be screaming at him to go. But they won't. It's party before what's best for the state.
My relative works @ Palermo’s pizza in Oak Lawn. Said Madigan comes in twice a week for his free meal while seated with all his “Yes” men. All whispers and laughter the entire time. Best part is that his crew never leave a tip! Everything complimentary.
How can Madigan, Cullerton or TubinDurbin hold their heads up high and mighty as Illinois continues to sink finacially further to the bottom of the Best Rated States?
They keep yapping about cutting everything thats nonessential and are first to vote for tax increases to increase entitlements.
The elected leaders are absolutely shameless.
They just don’t care.
Number 47 out of 50.
We didn’t get to this level by accident.
But voter fraud and corrupt Democrats will keep it there.
Bloated government agencies still out of control and Rauner the Reformer is hog tied.
Taxation going to sanctuary and needless infrastructure contractors.
Screwed every which way.
Beware of the GOP gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives(R)...a police pension legislation buster agenda, no plan just an across the board elimination of the entire IL Constitution pension protection article “cannot diminish or impair” clause.
Madigan a real live zombie...

Are you hinting something here?
'Cause many have the motive, some the means, but a clean opportunity is hard to come by......
Just saying'..................

Perhaps this will effect the state count in the Electoral College?
I'm too lazy to even google it, but I suspect it will.
2020, 2024 & 2028 might be even more fun than 2016.......

Not to sound too cynical, but you asked and answered your own question. When the demorats talk about cutting "non-essentials" they are NOT referring to any entitlements. The entitlements are absolutely essential, if they intend to pander to their base and stay in office.
Little details such as public safety, maintaining infrastructure, or providing pensions and healthcare don't mean fuck-all to the political douchebags in terms of getting re-elected. It's all about feeding and housing the Free Shit Army. Sorry to be so blunt, but there it is. This is the pattern throughout most of the state, and it's the playbook for Democrats across the country.
The Second Civil War is coming, and coming soon. The mid-term elections are just over 10 months from now. If the Democrats win some Congressional seats, expect the usual bickering bullshit to be ramped up a notch or two. If the Democrats get spanked at the polls, then the low boiling hissy fit that's been simmering since November of 2016 will blow up like Chernobyl. The irresistible force is about to smack face first into the immovable object.
Even congressional seats are living this shit ass state!
Ives can't do anything to the pensions. A vote has to be taken to have an open constitutional convention. Neware of Democrats who just dont make pension payments and let them go bankrupt.
C’mon people, folks too, Illinois can do better than that. If we all try hard Illinois can lose 3 congressional seats.
That's not all the State is going to lose. $$$$$ the people who lefts money. The people leaving are not on SNAP / Welfare.
Don't worry it's only two, I'm sure it will be a lot more before it's all over. Scorched earth! When I leave I'm taking everything I own including my curtains and shades. I'm leaving nothing behind. I just can't wait to leave. :P
Truth be told it is only regression to the mean Historically, Pennsylvania has always had a larger population and one more house seat than Illinois. It was only until the last census that Illinois passed Pennsylvania in population. Pennsylvania has the oldest population in the United States. All this means is people are moving out of Illinois faster than they are dying in Pennsylvania.

All this proves is some people aren't as stupid as the politicians think they are.
