At the request of the Illinois Supreme Court, Illinois House Republicans filed a brief with the Illinois Supreme Court last week to further argue the case for fair maps in the State of Illinois. Today, Deputy Minority Leader Ryan Spain stood with his colleagues to discuss the latest litigation update:
“The Court requesting a brief is a step forward in our fight for fair maps that comply with the Constitution and give voters the choices they deserve. This is not a partisan issue – this is an issue negatively impacting every resident of our state.”
“We are in the current state of extreme partisanship by design. We must restore trust in our government and a fair map would bring needed structural change to reinstate a better, balanced Illinois.”
