MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A special session of the Legislature called by Governor Tony Evers to ban partisan gerrymandering will continue this week.
The Assembly and Senate gaveled in on Tuesday, but unlike prior special sessions called by the Democratic governor, did not immediately gavel out without taking any action. Instead, both chambers adjourned until Thursday, with Republican leaders issuing statements indicating that discussions were ongoing.
In a lengthy response, Evers doubled down on banning partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin, telling lawmakers “There’s nothing to negotiate because there’s no room for compromise when it comes to making sure Wisconsinites’ voices matter and their votes count.”
