Gov. Evers Moves to Intervene in Redistricting Challenge to Wisconsin’s Legislative Maps
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit before the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state’s current legislative maps.
“My commitment to the people of Wisconsin remains the same—I believe that the people should get to choose their elected officials, not the other way around, and that includes making sure legislators cannot abuse their power and manipulate the redistricting process to try and keep their power,” said Gov. Evers. “Wisconsinites deserve fair maps—not the gerrymandered maps we have now that I already vetoed two years ago—and I will not stop fighting until we have a fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting process that ensures the people get to choose their elected officials in this state.”
“The extreme gerrymandering of our legislative maps has shifted power from where it ultimately belongs—with the voters—to the legislators who have drawn the maps,” said Attorney General Kaul. “It’s time for Wisconsin to have fair maps and to return the power to set our legislative agenda to Wisconsin voters.”
In its October 6 order accepting jurisdiction, the Wisconsin Supreme Court required additional parties to move for intervention by today, October 10. A copy of the filings can be found here and here.
