To avert the first ward map referendum since 1992, 41 alderpeople must agree on a map no later than May 19, the deadline for the June 28 primary election ballot to be finalized. HeatherCherone explains where things stand today.
But if the racially divisive dispute remains unresolved — as it has for more than six months — Chicago voters will pick between two maps: one backed by the City Council’s Latino Caucus and the other by the Black Caucus. In choosing between the maps, voters woule be deciding what the boundaries of the city’s 50 wards will be for the next decade, when members of both caucuses met at City Hall behind closed doors and attempted to hash out an agreement but made no progress.
Since Chicago’s population in 2020 was 2,746,388 residents, each ward should have 54,928 residents, according to data presented to the Chicago City Council. The map supported by the Black Caucus crafts 16 wards with a majority of Black voters, one ward with a plurality of Black voters and 14 wards with a majority of Latino voters.
Villegas has accused Black Caucus Chair Ald. Jason Ervin of echoing racist rhetoric used by former President Donald Trump by crafting a map using the share of Chicagoans who are citizens older than 18, rather than the number of Chicagoans who are older than 18.
The map supported by the Black Caucus was shaped by attorney Mike Kasper, who worked closely with Madigan while he was speaker and the leader of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Kasper is not referred to or named in Madigan’s indictment.
