MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Democrats are inching closer to overturning Republican-drawn legislative maps that the GOP has used over the past 13 years to grow their majorities and advance their agenda.
Republican maps adopted in 2022 by the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court used the 2011 map as a template and kept largely the same lines in place.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court in December agreed and ordered new maps to be drawn in time for the November election.
Her vote was the difference maker in the 4-3 December ruling tossing the Republican maps.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court also has been asked by Democrats to take up a challenge to the state’s congressional district lines.
