Wisconsin Supreme Court Just Handed Republicans Huge Election Win For Next 10 Years
April 16, 2022
The GOP just scored a massive – decade-long victory – thanks to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
ABC News reported that the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday adopted Republican-drawn boundaries for the next 10 years, reversing its previous decision after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Democrat governor’s proposal.
The state Supreme Court issued a 4-3 decision, with Justice Brian Hagedorn joining fellow conservatives on the court, in favor of maps drawn by legislative Republicans, which the majority determined to be “race neutral” because they did not consider race in drawing them.
Evers’ maps had factored in race to increase the number of Black majority Assembly districts from six to seven. The Republican-drawn maps chosen Friday reduce the number of Black majority districts to five.
Hagedorn, who was expected to be the deciding vote in the ruling, had previously sided with the court’s three liberal justices. Evers called the ruling “an outrageous decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
