Wisconsin's Supreme Court has ruled that the state's GOP-drawn legislative maps are unconstitutional and ordered the legislature to draw new maps for the 2024 general election. The court ruled 4-3 in favor of Democrats who argued that the legislative maps are unconstitutional, and if the current gerrymandered legislature can’t agree on a plan with Democratic Gov.
