Illinois Republicans have filed a lawsuit seeking to have the state’s legislative map thrown out by the Illinois Supreme Court. The lawsuit alleges that the map was unconstitutionally drawn to benefit Democrats and violates the principle of “one person, one vote.” The map was approved by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly and signed into law by Governor J.B. Pritzker earlier this year.
Republicans argue that the map unfairly favors Democrats by packing Republican voters into fewer districts, making it more difficult for them to win seats in the legislature. They are asking the state Supreme Court to invalidate the map and order the creation of a new, fairer map.
The lawsuit adds to the ongoing battle over redistricting in Illinois, with Republicans and Democrats at odds over how the state’s legislative boundaries should be drawn. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the balance of power in the state legislature.
The Illinois Supreme Court has yet to decide whether it will hear the case. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
