The Illinois Republican congressional delegation has called the recent redistricting process in their state a “sham,” criticizing the redistricting committee as partisan. Republican Reps. Rodney Davis, Mike Bost, Adam Kinzinger, Darin LaHood, and Mary Miller accused the committee of favoring Democrats in the new maps.
“Illinois citizens have been clear that they want an independent redistricting process free of political influence, but as we speak, Democrat lawmakers are picking their own voters behind closed doors,” wrote the representatives in a press statement.
