The lawsuit alleges the current House map fails to meet state constitutional requirements that districts be compact and allow elections to be “free and equal.” The outcome is elections that are “rigged” to favor Democratic candidates. Republicans want the court to invalidate the maps and appoint a special master to draw new district boundaries.
The GOP filed one back in 2021 and federal court said this is a states’ issue.

Congressional maps in Illinois were drawn up by residents of the Lighthouse For the Blind. A gerrymandered jigsaw puzzle that make no sense other than giving the democrats of Illinois an unfair advantage in elections.

Needs to go to Supreme Court. I live in southwest suburbs and in with Chicago south side. At the federal level I’m in with Western suburbs . Neither representative knows or cares about anything n my area.
Nor do they care about your area. The goal of each representative hand-selected by the Democrat Party is to represent the interests of the Democrat Party. We live in a one-party state when allegiance to the party is all that matters.
They did go to the US Supreme Court with their first suit. The US Supreme Court said they have no say over state legislative districts and to go to the state Supreme Court. We are doing that now.
