"Last-Ditch Effort: Wisconsin Republicans Push for New Legislative Maps"

Wisconsin Republicans rushed to pass new Senate and Assembly maps in a last-ditch effort to avoid the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court from implementing new legislative district boundaries for the November election. The move came just hours after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers proposed maps, with Republicans making changes to reduce the number of Republican incumbents facing each other. The Senate passed the new maps, but Assembly Republicans were considering passing Evers' proposed maps without changes. The Wisconsin Supreme Court had previously ordered new maps, and the governor and Democrats appeared unlikely to support the new Republican maps.
