Effingham County Board Chairman Jim Niemann Monday said, “it is a nightmare”.

“It” is the status of the Census and the inability of counties to comply with the law as far as redistricting.

Niemann told other board members “I’m supposed to be giving the Board a plan, but no Census data is available.” […]

The redistricting involves making sure the nine County Board districts have approximately the same population. All of the work is to be completed and in place in advance of the Fall 2022 election, when all nine Board seats are up for grabs. There is some sentiment for delaying the election to allow more time to get redistricting completed, which Governor J.B. Pritzker could do by executive order, but Niemann said Pritzker stated that he is getting away from issuing executive orders.

The governor, of course, cannot delay an election by executive order.
