Last month an attorney filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn Wisconsin’s congressional maps. The state supreme court already ruled on a case regarding our assembly and senate maps. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty this week took steps to try to block this latest legal maneuver. In addition, WILL is calling for Justice Janet Protasiewicz to recuse herself from any ruling that revisits the case that resulted in the current congressional maps because of explicit statements about the maps as she campaigned.
Interestingly, in 2022, the US Supreme Court weighed in on our current congressional maps in ’22, telling our state supreme court they couldn’t use the ones they had originally picked. These court cases challenging maps need to stop; the fall elections loom. We the people have a right to know well in advance what districts we will be in, as do candidates who are preparing to run for office.
