"Governor Evers Signs New Legislative Maps, Ending Wisconsin's Gerrymandering"

Wisconsin's Democratic Governor Tony Evers signed new legislative district maps into law, proposed by him and passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature to avoid the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court drawing the lines. The move is seen as a major political victory for Democrats in the swing state, likely leading to gains in the state Assembly and Senate. The new maps will be in place for the November election, replacing the recognized gerrymandered maps drawn by Republicans in 2011. Litigation continues in more than a dozen states over U.S. House and state legislative districts enacted after the 2020 census, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court has been asked to take up a challenge to the state's congressional district lines.
