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.
