MADISON, WI (WRN) — A conservative group wants the state Supreme Court to take jurisdiction over redistricting in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty is suing to have the court step in, if Governor Evers and Legislature fail to agree on new congressional district maps.
WILL is also asking the justices to redistrict “making the least number of changes to the existing maps as are necessary.”
The existing maps were drawn by Republican lawmakers in 2011.
The lawsuit comes after Democrats sued in federal court, asking a three-judge panel to re-draw Wisconsin’s political maps.
