Three judges in Madison are setting the stage for the court to draw Wisconsin’s next political map.
The federal judges yesterday allowed a lawsuit brought by Democrats and some activist voters to move forward. That lawsuit claims lawmakers and Governor Evers won’t be able to agree on new boundaries for Congress and statehouse seats, so the court should step-in and draw them. The judges say they will allow lawmakers to try their hands at a map first. But the court also warned it is ready to speed-up the case so judges could possibly draw a new map before the spring elections next year.
