Illinois House hold public redistricting hearing in Springfield

Springfield residents had the chance to speak up Monday about how legislative districts in Illinois should be redrawn. The House redistricting committee held a public hearing at the state Capitol after previously hosting regional meetings in other areas of the state. Several witnesses testified, advocating for a fair map-making process that was inclusive of different communities. State Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield, used the hearing as an opportunity to highlight why Illinois needs a new redistricting process and said Springfield was an example of how using a partisan process breaks up communities. He said when the current maps were first drawn in 2011, Springfield was divided up among three different senators and three representatives none living in Springfield.

Census Delay Likely to Impact Illinois Congressional Boundaries

WBGZ Radio 2/1/2021 | By Cole Lauterbach - Illinois Radio Network It’s becoming clear that Illinois’ constitutional deadline to redraw district boundaries will not be met due to delays with the U.S. Census. The state’s constitution would require a partisan panel to draw legislative boundaries, which could be controlled by Republicans. The issue stems from Census data collection process being put on hold due to the pandemic and the Trump administration’s push to end data collection sooner than the organization had sought. The first deadline to be missed was the Dec. 31, 2020, when the Census was supposed to send Congress and the president its data. The release was pushed back to Apr. 30 in their updated plan, with state-level data release expected on July 31.
