"Assessing the Impact of Wisconsin's New Legislative Maps on Political Power"
Wisconsin's new legislative maps, signed into law by Gov. Tony Evers, are expected to make the state's Legislature more evenly balanced between the two major parties. The maps have created 10 highly competitive districts, with seven in the Assembly and three in the Senate, where control of the Legislature could hinge on the outcome of elections. These changes come after years of Republican dominance in the Legislature despite losing statewide races, and the new maps are likely to prompt both parties to target a larger number of districts in upcoming elections.
