Um ... .
" Let's take a tour of the 13th Congressional District in Illinois.
It starts in East St. Louis and then moves steadily north.
By the time it gets to Springfield, home of Abraham Lincoln, about 90 miles away, it takes a sharp turn to the east, reaching Decatur and finally Champaign, itself about 80 miles away from Springfield
It's a jagged, narrow strip of territory with no obvious rhyme or reason as it traverses six counties.
It's less a congressional district than a road trip, and bears a resemblance to the original gerrymander, a long, salamander-like state Senate district in Massachusetts in 1812.
The only point of the new 13th District lines, fashioned in the redistricting after the 2020 Census, was to gather together far-flung Democrats to create another Democratic congressional district.
Mission accomplished: The 13th went from being a competitive district long held by a Republican to flipping to the Democrats in 2022.
Overall, Illinois lost one district after the 2020 Census and managed to write lines that changed the congressional ratio from a 13-5 Democratic advantage to a 14-3 Democratic advantage.
The political analysis website 538 called the new map "the worst gerrymander in the country drawn by Democrats"
The link includes a picture of this ridiculous district.

You all can rationalize however you wish.
Kamala is a terrible politician. She's not a dumb person. Clearly. She's just really bad at this. It's not in her wheelhouse.
