Lawmakers spar over using estimates in redistricting

Lawmakers spar over using estimates in redistricting The Illinois Constitution does not specify what data lawmakers are to use when redrawing maps, although they have traditionally relied on official numbers from each decennial census. But because of delays in producing those numbers the 2020 census, Democrats in the General Assembly have suggested using other data Associated Press file photo   Updated 4/20/2021 4:47 PM SPRINGFIELD Democrats and Republicans in the Illinois General Assembly are continuing to wrangle over the possible use of census estimates, as opposed to official numbers, to redraw state legislative and congressional district maps. It s a decision that could have a significant impact on whether Illinois residents are equally represented in the Statehouse and Congress, and one that is particularly important for communities of color and other underrepresented groups.

Decision is if lawmakers or a bipartisan commission draw the maps

Peter Hancock Capitol News Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Democrats and Republicans in the Illinois General Assembly are continuing to wrangle over the possible use of census estimates, as opposed to official numbers, to redraw state legislative and congressional district maps. It’s a decision that could have a significant impact on whether Illinois residents are equally represented in the Statehouse and Congress, and one that is particularly important for communities of color and other underrepresented groups. But the decision also could determine whether lawmakers themselves will draw the maps, or whether the job will be handed over to a bipartisan commission. That’s because delays in the 2020 census caused by the pandemic and other factors mean the official, block-level census numbers needed for legislative redistricting won’t be available until several weeks after the June 30 deadline set out in the state constitution for completing the process.
