Gov. Evers Submits Fair Maps to Wisconsin Supreme Court in Redistricting Litigation

[sybylla]

5. So we have 33 total senate seats and 99 total assembly seats

The Assembly is up for re-election every 2 years. Approximately half of them are affected by this redistricting based on having non-contiguous segments. There are 20 in the Senate, but they are up every 4 years alternating - 1/2 of the 33 plus or minus this year, the remainder up in 2026 under these new maps.

There are some curiosities in the current maps that could cause swings in November depending on how they are resolved. For example, there are about 3 or 4 assembly reps who live near each other, with their districts drawn to encircle their house, basically. One or all of them may find in the new maps that they are no longer in their current district and have to run against 1 or more incumbents

Most believe the that the Wis GOP will at the very least lose their supermajority in the Assembly and that it is possible that the Dems could pick up control of the Senate by 2026 if not this year.

It looks like the wis GOP are not planning on doing new maps. We’ll see what they give the committee to work with. I will laugh my ass off if Evers is the only one to submit maps and the court is satisfied with them. Let the gop suck on that.
