Wisconsin Senate Passes Gov. Tony Evers' Legislative Maps to End Legal Challenge

The GOP-led Wisconsin Senate has passed legislative maps proposed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers, a move that could prevent the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court from implementing potentially worse maps for Republicans. The plan now goes to the Assembly for expected approval before reaching Evers, who has promised to sign it into law. The political stakes are high in this battleground state, where Republicans have controlled the Legislature since 2011 despite Democrats winning statewide elections. The passage of these maps comes amid ongoing litigation and political maneuvering, with both parties vying for advantageous district boundaries.
