(Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that a redistricted map under consideration for public hearing on Monday, was withdrawn and replaced).
BELLEVILLE – Without the benefit of a census, St. Clair County board chairman Mark Kern has drawn 29 voting districts for the benefit of current board members.
Democrat Kern withdrew the first version of the map at a meeting on May 24, and offered a replacement for the board to consider in June.
His second map moved people across boundaries in a few spots without disturbing the separation of incumbents.
