Illinois Republicans are urging the state Supreme Court to overturn what they claim is a “gerrymandered” legislative map. The Republican legislators argue that the new map, drawn by Democrats, violates the state constitution by disproportionately favoring one party. The map was passed by the Democrat-controlled Illinois General Assembly earlier this year and signed into law by Governor J.B. Pritzker.
The Republicans have filed a challenge to the map in the state Supreme Court, arguing that it unfairly advantages Democrats and diminishes the voting power of Republican constituents. They are calling for the court to reject the map and order a new one to be drawn that is fair and nonpartisan.
Critics of the current map have pointed out that it could entrench Democratic control of the state legislature for years to come, limiting the ability of Republicans to compete in elections. The Supreme Court’s decision on this matter could have far-reaching implications for the state’s political landscape.
