"End of GOP Gerrymandering in Wisconsin: New Legislative Maps Signed into Law"

Wisconsin's Democratic governor, Tony Evers, signed new legislative maps into law, creating an almost even split between Democratic- and Republican-leaning districts and potentially giving Democrats a chance to win control of the state’s legislature for the first time in over a decade. The move comes after the state’s Supreme Court ordered new maps, and with the new maps likely to be used in the November election, Democrats are expected to pick up seats. The shift follows a long-standing Republican advantage aided by heavily gerrymandered maps, and the change in the state’s Supreme Court to a 4-to-3 liberal majority has renewed Democratic hopes of overturning the previous maps.
