Election process and redistricting subject of the next Whiteside Forum

April 23, 2023 at 8:00 pm CDT

In 2021, this intersection at O'Connor and St. Vincents Ave (Illinois 351) in La Salle is where a proposed map of three congressional districts would meet, which at the time was considered one of the most gerrymandered proposals on record.

MORRISON – The Whiteside Forum will host a free presentation, “Democratic Values and the Political Process: Elections, Redistricting, and Gerrymandering,” by guest speaker Paul Edleman at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 30, at the Odell Public Library, 307 S. Madison St.

Edleman will discuss redistricting, the election process, the electoral college, voting rules and regulations, followed by a Q&A session.

Edleman is a political science professor at Sauk Valley Community College. The presentation is the forum’s last event for the current season.
