TL;DR Summary

Wisconsin governor Tony Evers has signed new state legislative maps, undoing a Republican gerrymander and giving Democrats a chance at winning control of the state in future elections. The move comes after a protracted fight and a December ruling from the Wisconsin supreme court that the current maps are unconstitutional. Despite pressure from powerful Democrats to veto the bill, Evers signed it, citing it as the right thing to do for the people of Wisconsin. Anti-gerrymandering activists have hailed the new maps as a win for fair representation.
