In push for new Wisconsin congressional map, liberal firms invoke process created by GOP
In their latest attempts to make Wisconsin’s congressional voting map more favorable to Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, liberal law firms are pushing for an untested process first created by Republican state lawmakers in 2011.
They’re asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has declined to hear other redistricting lawsuits this year, to appoint a three-judge panel to decide whether the state’s congressional districts initially drawn 14 years ago are unconstitutional.
The process could potentially open a door to two lawsuits filed in Dane County Court aimed at overturning Wisconsin’s congressional map, which has helped Republicans win six of the state’s eight House districts.
Any decision issued by the judicial panel could only be appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
