State Senator Win Stoller (R-Germantown Hills) issued the following statement after Democrat lawmakers pushed their inaccurate and partisan legislative maps through the Illinois Senate:
“For years, we have heard Democrats talk about their support for a fair redistricting process, but when it came time to actually drawing and passing new legislative maps, they retreated behind closed doors and gerrymandered a highly partisan map.
“In order to pass a partisan map before June 30, they resorted to using inaccurate data which is opposed by watchdog, good government and minority groups because it will under-represent various areas and groups in our state.”
“Today’s maps proves that all their talk about a fair redistricting process was nothing more than lip service to the people of Illinois.”
