Wisconsin Supreme Court to hear appeal in lawsuit seeking new congressional map

The state Supreme Court today agreed to decide if a three-judge panel properly dismissed a lawsuit seeking a new congressional map in Wisconsin that argued the current lines are an anti-competitive gerrymander.

The court also denied a request from the Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy for an expedited process as they seek new maps in time for the 2028 elections.

Conservative Justices Rebecca Bradley and Annette Ziegler dissented. Bradley accused her liberal colleagues of pre-judging the case after the “Democratic Party bought multiple seats on this court to achieve yet another outcome unobtainable democratically.”

“An astonishingly activist court will once again revisit precedent it doesn’t like in order to do the bidding of its political masters,” Bradley wrote.
