Wisconsin GOP Legislature Approves Democratic Governor's Redistricting Maps

Wisconsin's GOP-controlled Legislature has passed legislative maps proposed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in a move to prevent the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court from implementing potentially worse maps for Republicans. The political stakes are high in the battleground state, where Republicans have held legislative control since 2011 despite Democrats winning statewide elections. The new maps, if signed by Evers, could greatly reduce Republican majorities in the Legislature, but concerns remain about the timing of their implementation and potential legal challenges.
