Illinois GOP Advances Legal Battle Against Controversial Legislative Map

Illinois House Republicans provided new insights on their legal challenge against the state's legislative map. The lawsuit, initiated in January, alleges the map unconstitutionally benefits Democrats. In a press conference, Republican leaders highlighted recent developments, noting they filed a brief with the Illinois Supreme Court to emphasize the case's timeliness. The plaintiffs request the court to invalidate the map and appoint a Special Master to create a fair redistricting plan, which they believe will serve both parties. State Representative Ryan Spain from Peoria emphasized the strengthened nature of their case and the essential steps forward.
