The GOP plan was introduced on Monday, but has been awaiting approval from a legislative panel.<\/p>\n<p>The plan comes after six Democratic voters filed a lawsuit, which argued the state\u2019s district mapping was malapportioned. If approved, it would give Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) and State Senate Majority Leader Devin Lemahieu (R-Wis.) the power to hire lawyers to represent the party\u2019s interests in the case against the Wisconsin Elections Commission.<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats were to win the lawsuit, Republicans and Democrat Gov. Tony Evers (Wis.) would be faced with a deadline to draw the new lines. If it was not met, the courts would takeover.<\/p>\n<p>This could be the first of many legal battles over redistricting ahead of the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, the Legislature announced a website for the public to participate in the map-drawing process.  <\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin residents can submit a statewide map, regional plan, or community of interest to the legislature from September 1 to October 15, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ynRVbCaYVI\">https:\/\/t.co\/ynRVbCaYVI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/O40ay8kORo\">pic.twitter.com\/O40ay8kORo<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wisconsin Senate Republicans (@WisSenGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WisSenGOP\/status\/1425873834528460802?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 12, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/texas-county-sends-law-enforcement-to-help-at-border\/\">Texas County Sends Law Enforcement To Help At Border<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos speaks at the state Capitol in Madison Wis.
