On July 22, the Illinois Supreme Court accepted an appeal from proponents of the statewide initiative to set up an independent redistricting commission. See the group’s web page here. The lower court had ruled that it can’t be on the ballot, even though it has enough valid signatures, because the lower court felt the Illinois Constitution doesn’t permit that type of initiative. See this news story. Thanks to Thomas Jones for this news.
