Illinois State Representative Amy Friess and House Republicans are continuing their legal battle against the Illinois Democrats' legislative maps. They argue that the maps have been gerrymandered to rig elections in favor of the Democrats.
Friess stated, "Gerrymandered maps rig elections," expressing her concerns about the fairness of the electoral process under the current legislative boundaries.
The case has reached the Illinois Supreme Court as Republicans seek to have the maps overturned. This legal challenge is part of ongoing efforts to address and potentially rework the existing district lines. Those interested in the case or seeking more information can visit RedoRemap.com.
