Those challenging WI congressional map as gerrymander want hearing as soon as Dec. 15
Those seeking to overturn Wisconsin’s congressional map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander want a hearing before a three-judge panel as soon as Dec. 15.
In a motion filed with the panel, the Dem attorneys argued the parties in the case have had their motion for summary judgment since Sept. 5 and “time is of the essence” to have a new map in place for next fall if the judges rule the current lines are unconstitutional.
But an attorney for the state’s GOP House members called the proposed briefing schedule and request for a hearing “patently unreasonable” after the state Supreme Court just last week appointed the three-judge panel that will hear the suit.
Meanwhile, the three-judge panel hearing a different lawsuit that argues the lines are an anti-competitive gerrymander Tuesday set a Dec. 12 hearing to discuss a timeline for progress in that case.
