7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Robert McCoy, et al., v. Chicago Heights Election Commission, et al.
Case No.: 16-3463
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BAUER and EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Redistricting
Plaintiffs‐appellants Robert McCoy and Kevin Perkins (“Appellants”) appeal from the district court’s order approving as constitutional a reapportioned map of aldermanic districts in the City of Chicago Heights (“the City”). The City redrew the ward boundaries pursuant to a consent decree entered in 2010, after decades of litigation. After an evidentiary hearing, the district court ruled that the City had sufficiently justified the population deviations in its proposed map. We affirm.
