“The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday ordered the Republican-controlled state Legislature to draw new legislative boundaries ahead of the 2024 election, arguing their GOP advantage is unconstitutional — delivering a long-sought win for Democrats who have stayed deep in the Legislature’s minority for more than a decade,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
“The court in a 4-3 decision released Friday afternoon said the court is also prepared to write the new maps themselves if the Legislature and Democratic governor cannot agree on a new plan.”
“The court ordered lawmakers to draw new maps by August, when the next legislative primary election takes place. The ruling forces half of the state Senate and the full Assembly to run in new legislative districts.”
