Wisconsin Supreme Court agrees to hear GOP redistricting lawsuit, denies recusal request

The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a Republican challenge to new legislative maps drawn by Democrats.
Justice Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal justice, declined to recuse herself despite GOP calls to do so.
The court previously dismissed one redistricting lawsuit but will hear arguments on another.
Republicans claim the new maps violate contiguity requirements and separation of powers.
GOP lawmakers argue Protasiewicz is biased and may allow new maps before the 2024 election.
