The war of words around political maps is heating up after Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker hosted Texas Democrats fleeing Texas to avoid voting on new political boundary maps.
Late Sunday, Governor Pritzker hosted several Texas legislators in Illinois. They were evading voting for their state’s new maps being considered by majority statehouse Republicans. Governor Pritzker said the Texas GOP is doing President Donald Trump’s bidding.
Republican Illinois State Representative Regan Deering asked whether there is a “bigger, more shameless fraud” than Governor Pritzker.
The maps Governor Pritzker signed into law for Illinois in 2021 were given an “F” grade by Princeton’s Gerrymandering Project and are considered among the most gerrymandered maps in the nation.
