Governor Evers Gives State Supreme Court Options Regarding Legislative Maps

(Bob Hague, WRN) Governor Tony Evers gives the Wisconsin Supreme Court options, as it reconsiders legislative maps.

Evers told the state Supreme Court that it should allow him to submit additional evidence defending his legislative districts map, or alternately, consider changes to reduce the number of Black-majority Assembly districts in the Milwaukee area from seven to six.

This follows Wednesday’s unsigned opinion by the U.S. Supreme Court, that the Wisconsin justices erred in adopting maps drawn by Evers. The state court will need to move quickly, because candidates for the Legislature can begin circulating nomination papers April 15, less than a month from now.
