Republicans push petition at redoremap.com after late amendment filing
Summary
Speakers in the video urged Illinois voters to sign a petition at redoremap.com opposing a constitutional amendment filed shortly before the statutory notice deadline, framing the matter as a bipartisan democratic concern.
In the recorded message, Ryan Spain urged all Illinois voters to oppose the amendment he said Speaker Welch and House Democrats advanced at the last minute. "So please go to this website, redoremap.com. Sign the petition," Spain said, calling the situation a "red alert" and asking both Republicans and Democrats to act.
Speakers argued the petition was needed because the amendment was introduced close to the statutory notice deadline for ballot questions; the video presented the petition as the primary public-response mechanism but did not include details about who is operating the site, if signatures would be verified, or what legal effect, if any, such a petition would have on the legislative process.
