TL;DR Summary

A coalition of legal groups in Wisconsin has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's electoral maps, alleging that they are gerrymandered and unconstitutional. The lawsuit aims to correct the partisan advantage maintained by Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin for over a decade. If successful, the lawsuit asks for the electoral maps to be redrawn before the 2024 elections. The case also requests a special election for state senators not up for reelection in 2024 after new maps have been drawn. This is the first major voting rights case for Wisconsin's new liberal majority on the supreme court, which could decide more elections-related cases ahead of the 2024 elections.
