The Wisconsin Supreme Court has dealt a blow to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ attempt to install a post-Census congressional map that heavily favored his party while replacing it with a redistricting map drawn by the state’s GOP legislative majority.
The state high court ruled 4-3 on Friday after the U.S. Supreme Court in March tossed out the map that Evers had drawn, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
In addition, the ruling comes so late that Democrats likely will not have time to try and fight the implementation of the GOP-drawn redistricting map ahead of the 2022 midterm elections in November, the paper said.
