The Illinois House map showing how districts would be rejiggered -- including the 51st, 58th and 59th in Lake County -- was released shortly before 5 p.m. Friday.
Whether the timing of the map release was accidental or not, “It did the public a disservice,” said State Rep. Mike Fortner, a Republican, the GOP’s point man on House redistricting. Republicans had no input in the mapmaking process, which was put together by the Democrat-controlled House.
Illinois re-examines districts every 10 years as part of the national census.
