Republicans May File Lawsuit Regarding District Map

The 10th district is one of those reportedly contested.

Congressional Republicans may soon file a federal lawsuit challenging the district re-mapping presented by Democrats in Springfield, Journal & Topics Newspapers reported.

The congressional district map was re-drawn following population changes reflected in the 2010 U.S. Census. The 10th district, which includes Des Plaines, is one of the districts to be contested in the suit.
