Answer
The Democratic-controlled Illinois General Assembly redrew Walsh's district to include more Democratic voters, making it easier for Walsh to win re-election. This practice of redrawing electoral districts to benefit a particular party is known as gerrymandering and has been widely criticized as undermining democratic principles and fair representation.
