"Wisconsin Supreme Court Stands Firm on Congressional Map Decision"

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected a Democratic request to reconsider the state's congressional maps for the 2024 election, ensuring that the current district boundaries will remain in place. This decision comes after Democrats successfully changed legislative boundaries last month. The court's rejection was based on the new majority's stance on rebalancing political power in the state, with conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley expressing concerns about the court's independence and integrity. The rejection means that Wisconsin's current congressional district boundaries, drawn by Governor Evers, will stand for the upcoming election, with Republicans holding six of the state's eight House seats.
