Illinois statehouse Republicans are looking to create an independent map commission to redraw legislative boundaries.
Democrats say they can t rely on what they say could be flawed data.
Republicans filed an amendment to Senate Bill 1325 to create the People’s Independent Maps Act allowing the Illinois Supreme Court to appoint a commission to draw maps.
“While we absolutely support the concept of an independent commission and a truly nonpartisan process that respects and values input from the diverse people of Illinois, we have reservations about whether this proposal is achievable given that we re not supposed to receive census data until late September and the state constitution requires maps be adopted by Oct. 5,” said Change Illinois Executive Director Madeleine Doubek.
