Split Supreme Court Adopts Evers’ Redistricting Maps
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | March 3, 2022
From WisPolitics.com …A split state Supreme Court today adopted Gov. Tony Evers’ maps for Wisconsin’s legislative and congressional boundaries, finding they most closely followed the directive to take a “least-change” approach to the existing lines Republicans drew a decade ago.The ruling is a significant victory for Dems.Evers’ maps include five districts that have typically voted Republican in recent elections and three Dem seats. Former President Trump won six of the districts in 2020.His Assembly map includes 55 GOP seats and 44 Dem districts, while Trump won 62 in 2020.And his Senate map includes 20 GOP seats and 13 Dem districts. Trump won 22 seats in 2020.Writing for the majority, Hagedorn wrote that Evers’ map “easily scores highest” in complying with the court’s requirement that new lines follow the least-change approach.He wrote the same about Evers’ legislative maps.“No other proposal comes close,” Hagedorn wrote.Hagedorn was joined in the majority by the court’s three liberals: Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallett and Jill Karofsky.Read the decision here.
