This isn't hard.

No, it isn’t, but the GOP in Wisco has enjoyed the most gerrymandered state in the country for years. They’re sore about it. I mean what if people’s votes start getting represented? What if Wisconsin goes back to being the progressive blue state it is?

+1 and on to the Congressional maps (the last lawsuit was for the legislative maps)

“Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, signed new legislative maps into law on Monday that were crafted by his office and approved by the state Supreme Court.

"I've promised from the beginning that I will always try to do the right thing. Today, I'm keeping that promise and I'm signing fair maps for Wisconsin," Evers said in a statement posted on social media. "Wisconsin, for the first time in over a decade, we will not have some of the most gerrymandered maps in America."”

This affects only the state level but that’s where it begins! Now Democrats won’t early 55% of the vote but only a third of the seats.

I sure hope this works out. Wisco Dems have been getting screwed for decades.

We’ll see but gerrymandered supermajority —> fairly redistricted tossup seems to be a really good sign.
