Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules on Redistricting Approach

Frederica Freyberg:

In other news, a not unexpected win for Republicans from the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a ruling on how to draw new voting maps. The conservative majority on the high court ruled this week that it will make the minimum changes necessary to the current district maps and that the court will not consider partisan balance. The ruling informs how parties must draw maps they submit to justices for their consideration. A trial to set lines could happen as soon as January.
