"Wisconsin Republicans Rush Through Last-Minute Redistricting Bill Amid Democratic Opposition"

TL;DR Summary
Wisconsin Senate Republicans hastily passed an amended bill to redraw the state's legislative maps in a last-minute effort to protect Republican incumbents, keeping the maps secret from the public and Senate Democrats. The move, described as a "stunt" by Governor Tony Evers' spokesperson, aims to retain Republican power and bypass potential intervention by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The amendment comes after the court struck down the state's current maps for violating the constitution, ordering the Legislature to adopt remedial maps or face court intervention.
