Aren’t Wisconsin voters going to be angry about this? She just got elected right?

That's the beauty of it. The legislators have made it impossible for the voters to remove them.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court probably needs to get ahead of this by declaring all of the current legislators unlawfully elected, redrawing the maps, and ordering immediate new elections. Two can play hardball.

will of the voters be damned

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that WI has non-contiguous districts, which is a direct violation of Article IV of the Wisconsin Constitution.

Insane. If you own the judges, you can pretty much do anything you want.

I notice that none of the resident “moderate dems” or “independents” ever have a word to spare about this type of thing. When the Democrats exhale too loud, they want to vote third party but when the GOP merrily screws voters these “moderates” are fine.

And now the gerrymandered legislature is going to impeach the Supreme Court Justice who won in a landslide saying she’s going to strike down their gerrymander.

More total BS detected and rejected

I am not sure why calling rigged maps rigged is a basis for impeachment, but I guess that is on brand for the GOP.

Here’s how bad the maps drawn by the gerrymandered Republican supermajority are, btw.

Good god that district is insane. The different parts of the district are not even contiguous!

Yup.

Assuming you’re on twitter, what do the follow ups to this say? I’m not a twitter user and can no longer see anything.

Not a lot of comments but the full chart is pretty significant if you can’t see the whole thing.

Correct, I couldn't see Wisconsin on the chart, thank you.

And FFS. I’m waiting for the maga compulsion to “but Maryland.” This is awful.

And the WI constitution specifically requires the districts to be contiguous, but the republicans in the legislature and courts have just ignored that.

This is insane. The constitution requires contiguous and the WI Republicans just straight up broke the law with the support of the SC?

F#cking unreal.

Yup. In 2018 Democrats won every statewide race and 53% of the statewide legislative vote, but took just 36 of the state’s 99 Assembly seats.

I don’t worry much about maps because people are individuals and their politics shift when their own lives are affected.

So you don't care that one party can win the majority of votes and the other party can end up with a super majority in the legislature? Good for you

But that’s the problem. People’s politics shifted toward democrats because republicans did such a horrible job, but the republicans kept winning the elections with a minority of the votes because republicans rigged the maps. The last election democrats got a majority of the votes but republicans got a supermajority of seats.
