State Representative Dan Ugaste, representing Geneva, joined House Minority Leader Tony McCombie and Deputy Leader Ryan Spain to discuss developments in the House Republicans' legal efforts for fair redistricting in Illinois.

In a statement, Ugaste addressed the recent actions of the Illinois Supreme Court regarding timeliness issues. He noted that "the Illinois Attorney General has declined to take a position on behalf of the State Board of Elections," which he indicated deviates from past practices. Furthermore, Ugaste mentioned that Speaker Welch and President Harmon have stepped in, with their legal teams utilizing a technicality that could potentially infringe upon voters' constitutional rights.

The case continues as Republicans push for changes they believe will ensure equitable representation in electoral maps.
