By Republican Party of Wisconsin - Dec 22nd, 2023 04:19 pm

MADISON, Wis. – If you are covering the Wisconsin Supreme Court‘s ruling on Rebecca Clarke v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, please consider the following statement from WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming:

“Democrats have decided to try elections in the courtroom rather than actually earn voters’ trust at the ballot box. By throwing out these maps, left-wing jurists on the Wisconsin Supreme Court have usurped both their authority and the will of the majority of Wisconsinites who favor keeping existing districts.” —WisGOP Chairman Brian Schimming

Background

51% of Wisconsinites support keeping existing district maps until the 2030 census.
