- Set the candidates. Name the contenders for the Illinois's 16th Congressional District (or keep the generic Democrat / Republican defaults). The map starts from real 2024 results in every precinct.

- Roll up & share. Roll the result up to chamber control, then publish a shareable, frozen link to your scenario.
