“Illinois Democrats unveiled a draft congressional map Friday that would bury the GOP: The proposed lines could give them control of 14 of the state’s 17 House seats,” Politico reports.

“But privately, some national Democrats felt even that didn’t go far enough. So late Friday night, they floated an alternative map that was even more aggressive — one that could leave Republicans with just two seats.”
