The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:

Partisans wait expectantly for a decision after a new liberal majority on the state Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a lawsuit over Wisconsin voting maps and high-tech intervention for young children learning how to communicate after the isolation of a pandemic.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” the Wisconsin Supreme Court will soon rule on the lawsuit over state voting maps. We hear from a former state senator who voted for the maps that cemented the Republican majority and his regrets. The first of our year end interviews with legislative leaders. And Zac Schultz reports on the soaring numbers of children with speech delays. It’s “Here & Now” for December 1st.
