Wisconsin Senate Passes Governor's Legislative Maps to Address Gerrymandering

The Wisconsin state senate has voted to adopt new legislative maps drawn by Democratic governor Tony Evers, potentially undoing the extreme gerrymandering that has favored Republicans for over a decade. This move comes after a December ruling that the current maps are unconstitutional. The Republican-dominated legislature's vote is a significant step towards ending the years-long battle over Wisconsin's legislative maps, giving Democrats a chance to win control of the state legislature. The new maps still need approval from the state assembly and Governor Evers, but their adoption could significantly reduce the Republican advantage in the state.
