“Changing the way Illinois’ legislative districts are drawn is one of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s priorities, and he may get some help this year from outside the General Assembly.
Despite the Republican governor’s stance on the issue and his ongoing stalemate with legislative Democrats, putting the once-a-decade redistricting process in the hands of an independent commission has widespread bipartisan support, said Jim Bray, spokesman for the group Independent Maps.
The change would require an amendment to the Illinois Constitution, and the group is making the third attempt in four election cycles to put the issue to voters.”
