From the Court’s Opinion:

“In the end, we find that the boundaries for Illinois House and Senate Districts set out in SB 927 neither violate the Voting Rights Act nor the Constitution. The record shows ample evidence of crossover voting to defeat any claim of racially polarized voting sufficient to deny Latino and Black voters of the opportunity to elect candidates of their choice in the challenged districts. And the record also shows that even if race was a factor in the drawing of at least some of these districts, it was not the predominant factor as to any single district, and thus the resulting maps do not violate the Equal Protection Clause. Instead, the voluminous evidence submitted by the parties overwhelmingly establishes that the Illinois mapmakers were motivated principally by partisan political considerations.”

“But the Supreme Court has declared partisan gerrymandering claims to present political questions beyond the reach of the federal courts. [] Having found no statutory or constitutional infirmities in the map adopted in SB 927, our involvement in the current disputes over Illinois redistricting must come to an end with the entry of a final judgment as follows: (1) against all Defendants and in favor of McConchie Plaintiffs on Counts I and II of their second amended complaint [dkt. 116 in Case No. 21-cv-3091], both of which relate to the June Redistricting Map, (2) against all Defendants and in favor of Contreras Plaintiffs on Count I of their second amended complaint [dkt. 98 in Case No. 21-cv-3139], which also relates to the June Redistricting Map, and (3) in favor of all Defendants and against all Plaintiffs on all other claims asserted in McConchie Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint [dkt. 116 in Case No. 21-cv-3091], Contreras Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint [dkt. 98 in Case No. 21-cv-3139], and East St. Louis NAACP Plaintiffs’ complaint [dkt. 1 in Case No. 21-cv-5512].”
