Wisconsin Supreme Court Declines to Clarify Election Maps
The court's refusal leaves uncertainty for upcoming special and recall elections before new maps take effect in November.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously decided not to clarify legislative district boundaries for potential recall elections before new maps become effective in November.
- This decision affects a recall effort against Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, initiated by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
- Democratic Governor Tony Evers signed new legislative maps into law in February, which are set to take effect in November, replacing maps deemed unconstitutional.
- The Wisconsin Elections Commission, tasked with election administration, faces an April 11 deadline to determine if the recall petition against Vos has sufficient signatures.
- A second recall effort against Vos was launched last week, as the initial attempt likely fell short of the required signatures.
