The Impact of Wisconsin's Supreme Court Election on Fairness and Democracy

TL;DR Summary
Liberal law firm Law Forward plans to challenge Wisconsin's legislative maps, arguing that gerrymandering violates the state's constitution. The challenge is expected to be brought by the end of summer or early fall. With the state's Supreme Court set to shift to a liberal majority in August, the case is likely to be taken up by the court. The suit would ask the court to look at voting rights, which are protected under the state constitution. The current maps are not allowing all Wisconsin residents to have a voice in elections, according to Law Forward.
