Chicago Tribune, March 8, 1997… Gov. Jim Edgar on Friday signed into law the final hurrah of last year’s Republican-run General Assembly, approving a redrawing of the Illinois Supreme Court’s election boundaries aimed at giving the GOP control of the state’s highest court. […] By having Cook County’s three seats on the high court elected from subdistricts, instead of countywide, beginning in the year 2000, Republicans hope to win a majority on the 7-member court for the first time since 1970. […] House GOP leader Lee Daniels (R-Elmhurst) rebutted arguments that the map represented a Republican power grab. “It’s a solid bill. It meets the constitutional requirement, and it’s about time the Supreme Court was redistricted. The Democrats refused to deal with the issue because they had control of the court,” he said.
