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.
