| Description | Plugging in newly available 2020 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Illinois lawmakers approved an amended state legislative redistricting map last week.
It passed over the strenuous objections of Republicans and good government groups, who decried the process employed by majority Democrats.
Republicans and groups like the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund have sued to have it thrown out — and may even have a good case.
But, if the maps do stand up in court, as Democrat-drawn maps have the past couple redistricting cycles, their impact will be felt for the next decade. |
