The court ruled in \u2062a 4-3 decision that the current \u2064legislative districts\u2064 in the state are \u2063in \u200bviolation of Wisconsin&#8217;s constitutional \u200brequirements for legislative districts.<\/p>\n<p>If the GOP members fail to comply with the court&#8217;s ruling, Wisconsin Democrat Governor Tony Evers will sign new remedial maps into\u2064 law. The court has identified at least 50 out of 99 assembly districts \u2062and at least 20 out of 33 Senate districts that are in violation of the constitutional requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The court&#8217;s decision means that the Wisconsin Elections Commission is prohibited \u2063from\u200c using the current maps in all\u200d future elections. Remedial maps must be adopted before the 2024 elections. Governor Evers\u2063 hailed the ruling as a big win for the\u2063 state, stating that the Republican-controlled Legislature has consistently gerrymandered itself\u2064 into comfortable, partisan majorities for over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wisconsin is a purple state, and I look forward to submitting maps to the Court to consider and review that \u200creflect and represent the makeup of our state. And I remain optimistic as ever \u200dthat, at long\u200c last, the \u200cgerrymandered \u2063maps Wisconsinites have endured for \u2062years \u2063might soon be history,&#8221; Governor Evers expressed.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit leading to this ruling was brought to the court just one day after Democrat Justice Janet Protasiewicz was elected in April of \u2063this year, putting an end to 15 years of GOP control. Justice \u2064Protasiewicz was\u2064 one of the \u200dfour justices who sided with the new ruling.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063new maps must be submitted to the court by January 12th, and evaluations \u200cby consultants \u200dare \u200bdue by February 1st.<\/p>\n<p>This \u200ddecision is expected \u2063to have significant implications \u2064for the upcoming elections in Wisconsin, as it seeks to address the issue of partisan gerrymandering and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-announces-2-republican-nominees-for-ftc-positions\/\" title=\"Biden picks 2 GOP nominees for FTC roles.\">ensure fair representation<\/a>\u200b for the people\u2063 of the \u200bstate.
