Democrats' approach to redistricting in Illinois has been criticized for reducing electoral competitiveness. The issue of gerrymandering, which involves manipulating electoral district boundaries for political advantage, remains contentious.
Critics argue that such practices have disenfranchised voters by making elections less competitive. There is a call for fair maps to ensure that every voter in Illinois has an equal opportunity to influence their state government.
A recent opinion piece from the Daily Herald titled "The fight continues: Illinois GOP lawsuit over House map the latest salvo in long-running battle against gerrymandering" highlights the ongoing legal battles and disputes surrounding this issue.
