MADSION, Wis. (WRN) — Democrats are making another attempt to overturn Wisconsin’s congressional district maps.
The Elias Law Group filed a motion on behalf of Democratic voters to the State Supreme Court Wednesday asking for a review of the House maps. The group filed a similar request last year, but the Court rejected the request because it was too close to the November election.
The current maps only have two of the state’s seven congressional districts with the potential for real contention. They’re the 3rd District currently held by Republican Derrick Van Orden and the 1st District held by Republican Bryan Steil.
The new lawsuit will be heard by a liberal Court, after Justice Susan Crawford won the spring election. The court’s 4 – 3 liberal majority will remain in place until 2028.
