Wisconsin Supreme Court Invalidates GOP-Drawn District Lines

The Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidated district lines used for state legislative elections on the basis of non-contiguous territory in violation of the state constitution, which is likely to benefit state Democrats. Republicans plan to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, following a 4-3 ruling that deems the current GOP-drawn lines unconstitutional. The revised map will put all 132 state lawmakers up for reelection in March 2024, providing Democrats with an opportunity to challenge the Republican stronghold on the state's legislature.
