Hyde Park area gains five seats in Illinois redistricting
Five Hyde Park legislators will compete in the 1972 congressional races under a new 18th district map crafted to comply with one man one vote. Democrats Mann Lenard and Caldwell and Republicans Epton Collins join in district remap, while McLendon resides outside the new boundaries and Grivetti sues to block the plan, arguing the map is unconstitutional for not being compact contiguous or representative of a community of interest.
