If by politics you mean the liberal lean, then yes - Republican voters are leaving Illinois. There are currently 13 Democratic reps and 5 Republican reps from Illinois. With the new census and redistricting, the state loses 1 seat. But it will be a Republican seat - 13 Democrats and 4 Republicans. Based on the limited census data we have, there is a small-to-mid possibility that it will become 14 Democrats and 3 Republicans in 2022. It will probably all be in the southern part of the state. I'd put it at even odds that in the northern part of the state, they redraw boundaries a little bit to shift some Republicans from Underwood (D) to Kinzinger (R) to increase the election odds for both. If you lean Republican, you might think politics are broken. If you lean Democratic, you might think politics are exactly right.
