Wisconsin Republicans want to subpoena two redistricting consultants who last week told the state Supreme Court that GOP legislative maps submitted as part of an ongoing redistricting case are partisan gerrymanders. 

If the court doesn’t allow that step, attorneys representing GOP lawmakers and voters told justices that their expert report should be tossed out. 

University of California, Irvine political scientist Bernard Grofman and Carnegie Mellon University political scientist Jonathan Cervas were hired by the court to review six voting map proposals submitted by parties to the redistricting lawsuit, including the GOP-controlled state Legislature.
