Wisconsin Supreme Court Asked to Reconsider Congressional Maps

Governor Tony Evers pushes for a review of the state's congressional districts to ensure fairness, following recent changes to legislative maps.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers requests the state Supreme Court to examine and potentially alter the federal congressional district lines, aiming to end gerrymandering.
Evers's action comes after a victory in altering state legislative maps, which now give Democrats a chance to compete for control of the legislature.
The current congressional maps, drawn under a 'least change' approach, heavily favor Republicans, with a 6-2 advantage in House seats.
A legal challenge to the congressional maps has been filed, with the state Supreme Court's decision on taking up the case pending.
The request for map reconsideration is part of a broader effort to ensure electoral fairness at all levels in Wisconsin.
