Wisconsin Supreme Court Upholds Congressional Maps, Siding with Republicans

The court's decision to reject a Democratic challenge maintains the current district boundaries, marking a significant win for the GOP.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected a Democratic challenge to the state's congressional maps, maintaining the current district boundaries for the November election.
The decision was seen as a victory for Republicans, who hold six of Wisconsin's eight seats in the House.
Justice Janet Protasiewicz, elected in 2023 and giving liberals a majority on the bench, did not participate in the decision.
Conservative justices criticized the liberal majority's approach, warning of potential future partisan agendas.
The court's decision follows a previous ruling ordering new legislative maps, citing the unconstitutionality of Republican-drawn ones.
