The ongoing redistricting mess should prompt systemic changes for next time.
Republicans control the Legislature but approved the new lines to avoid a court fight.
Wisconsin Republicans were scrambling Wednesday to come up with new legislative district maps that might win the approval of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and head off the state Supreme Court from drawing lines that could be even worse for the GOP. The liberal-controlled state Supreme Court last month tossed the current Republican-drawn maps as unconstitutional. The court said it would draw new maps unless the Legislature and Evers agreed to ones first.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the state’s newly redrawn congressional and legislative district maps.
It will now be up to a federal court judge to decide if the new Congressional and legislative district maps pass Constitutional muster.
