The most egregious examples of GOP gerrymandering (arrows south to north)

• Cracking Rock County, packing Beloit and Janesville
• Cracking Ozaukee County
• Pushing a North Woods district into southern Wisconsin
• Cracking Appleton/Oshkosh metro area

Rich Kremer reports for WPR:

They’re asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has declined to hear other redistricting lawsuits this year, to appoint a three-judge panel to decide whether the state’s congressional districts initially drawn 14 years ago are unconstitutional. 

The process could potentially open a door to two lawsuits filed in Dane County Court aimed at overturning Wisconsin’s congressional map, which has helped Republicans win six of the state’s eight House districts. 

Any decision issued by the judicial panel could only be appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
