Rich Kremer reports for WPR:

Democrats’ hopes of winning a majority in either the state Senate or Assembly aren’t new, but they have been buoyed by new, more competitive, voting districts. The districts were redrawn by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and passed by GOP lawmakers after the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the old Republican-drawn maps unconstitutional.\ 

The November election was the first test for the new maps, which helped Democrats whittle a Republican supermajority of 22-10 down to an 18-15 split. Those pickups came despite President Donald Trump defeating former Vice President Kamala Harris in the state. [emphasis added]
