Illinois House Republicans have initiated legal action against the legislative maps drawn by Democrats, claiming they are partisan. The lawsuit was filed with the Illinois Supreme Court, aiming to address concerns about gerrymandering.

"We’ve filed a lawsuit with the Illinois Supreme Court challenging Democrats’ partisan legislative maps to restore the voices of our residents," stated a representative from the Republican group involved in the lawsuit.

The issue of gerrymandering has been a contentious topic in Illinois politics, and this move represents a significant step by Republicans to contest what they perceive as unfair political boundaries.

This legal challenge comes amidst ongoing debates over redistricting practices and their impact on fair representation within the state.

The situation is being closely monitored as it unfolds in court, with potential implications for future elections and political balance in Illinois.
