fair maps

A lawsuit filed with Wisconsin’s newly liberal-controlled state Supreme Court argues that Republican-drawn legislative maps are unconstitutional and must be redone.

The state high court previously chose Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' legislative maps, but the decision was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, which held the state court did not provide enough justification a new Black-majority assembly district called for in Evers' plan was necessary.

The court reversed itself Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court in March said Evers' maps were incorrectly adopted.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is deciding the future political boundaries of Congressional, Senate, and Assembly districts in the state.In November, it said it would take a “least-changed" approach, meaning it will try to stick as closely to the maps in place for the last 10 years while adjusting for population changes.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision to make few changes when redrawing the state's voting maps is raising concerns new districts may not adequately represent the growing number of Hispanic and Latinx voters.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a lawsuit from Wisconsin Republicans seeking to kill a redistricting case brought by Democrats, keeping hope alive for liberals that they can seek to block GOP-drawn maps through the federal courts.
