Illinois Supreme Court Keeps Redistricting Initiative Off the Ballot

On August 25, the Illinois Supreme Court issued an opinion in Hooker v Illinois State Board of Elections, 2016 IL 121077. The Court, by a vote of 4-3, said that the statewide initiative for a nonpartisan redistricting commission may not be on the ballot, even though it had enough valid signatures. The Illinois Constitution provides for the statewide initiative but severely constrains the subject matter of such initiatives.

Here is the decision. The dissents are extremely passionate, eloquent, and critical of the majority opinion. Thanks to Thomas Jones and Rick Hasen for this news.
