Is Wisconsin the Next Redistricting Battleground?
As the redistricting arms race continues to rage across the country, the next high-stakes battleground could be Wisconsin.
Over the summer, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging the existing congressional map as a partisan gerrymander favoring Republicans. But the court also recently appointed three-judge panels to hear two ongoing lawsuits that make similar claims, signaling that redistricting may be on the table next year.
The question is whether new congressional maps could come into play in time for the 2026 midterm elections.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court adopted the state’s current congressional map in 2022, when conservative justices still dominated.
