'Republicans are threatening to use their gerrymandered supermajority to remove the newly elected Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who could strike down their gerrymanders.'
"If the Senate drags its feet in holding a trial, that might be enough to leave gerrymandered maps in place for 2024," Li warned.
The Campaign Legal Center , Law Forward, the Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School, Stafford Rosenbaum LLP, and Arnold & Porter argued in afiled with the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this month that the state's legislative maps are"extreme partisan gerrymanders that violate multiple provisions of the Wisconsin Constitution."
The lawsuit demands a redrawing of legislative maps and special elections for state Senate seats that wouldn't otherwise be up for reelection until 2026. "The legislators elected in November 2022 took office in unconstitutionally configured districts," the lawsuit states."That constitutional infirmity has persisted for over a decade now, and Wisconsinites have suffered under this unconstitutional system for long enough. Legislators have no right to complete a term of office that was unconstitutionally obtained.
