"Governor Evers Vetoes Republican-Drawn Legislative Maps, Sparking Redistricting Court Battle"

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers vetoed a set of new legislative maps passed by Republicans last week, following an order by the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to redraw the state's electoral boundaries. Evers emphasized his commitment to fair maps and criticized the Republican-passed maps as partisan gerrymandering, while Republican leaders expressed disappointment with the veto and accused Evers of governing as an extreme partisan. The state Supreme Court is prepared to draw maps if Evers and the Republican-led Legislature cannot reach an agreement.
