Some Republicans have accused Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker of going back on his campaign promise that he would not sign a partisan-drawn map. Here's what he said when asked about the issue Wednesday.Â
Illinois lawmakers responded Saturday to the first draft of the long-awaited proposed state legislative maps, which were released late Friday, setting off the once-a-decade process wrought with bitter, partisan strife.Â
Democrats dubbed their proposal âa fair mapâ that represents the broad diversity of the state, yet it was widely denounced by Republicans and good government groups, who said it relies on flawed data and is built to protect Democratic incumbents and give the party an overall partisan advantage.
