TL;DR Summary

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging the state's legislative maps, which are accused of being excessively gerrymandered. The focus of the debate will center on the interpretation of the word "contiguous," as many districts in Wisconsin contain disconnected pieces of territory. The lawsuit argues that the maps violate the state constitution, but there is a debate over whether contiguity or municipal lines should take precedence. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for Wisconsin state politics, including issues like abortion and voting rights.
