Wisconsin Republicans’ redistricting plan was the focus of a lengthy public hearing Thursday at the State Capitol. The maps are largely based on current legislative and congressional districts drawn by the G-O-P following the 2010 Census. They will likely ensure that Republicans retain majorities in both the Wisconsin Senate and Assembly. Many people called for non-partisan maps and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos argued Democrats don’t hold more seats in the state Legislature because they are “out of touch with their communities.” Governor Tony Evers has already said he’ll veto the maps, which will send the redistricting issue to the courts.
