"Tony Evers' New Legislative Maps Shift Wisconsin's Political Landscape"
TL;DR Summary
After more than a decade of extreme gerrymandering favoring Republicans in Wisconsin, new maps have been implemented, reshaping the political landscape and giving Democrats a chance to win control of the state assembly this year and possibly the state senate in 2026. The new maps undo the severe gerrymandering by creating more competitive districts and adding safe Democratic districts, but still maintain a bias towards Republicans. Despite the shift, the map does not create more individually competitive districts and is seen as a map drawn by Democrats.
