“SPRINGFIELD — The group behind a proposed amendment to the Illinois Constitution that would have changed the way legislative districts are drawn sent an email message to supporters Wednesday urging them to make redistricting reform an issue in this fall’s races for the General Assembly.
The proposal from the group Independent Maps, which would have taken lawmakers out of the once-a-decade process of redrawing district boundaries, was blocked from the Nov. 8 ballot last month when the Illinois Supreme Court’s four Democratic justices ruled it unconstitutional. The court’s three Republican justices dissented.”
