"Wisconsin's New Electoral Maps Shift Political Landscape"
TL;DR Summary
Governor Tony Evers signed new electoral maps into law, reducing the Republican stronghold in Wisconsin's state Legislature. The previous heavily gerrymandered maps had given Republicans a two-thirds majority in both the state Assembly and Senate, but the new boundaries are expected to bring more balance between the two parties, with the state Assembly now having 46 Republican-leaning districts, 45 Democratic-leaning districts, and 8 competitive districts, and the state Senate having 14 Democratic-leaning districts, 15 Republican-leaning districts, and 4 competitive districts.
