Eric Darnley Small<p>What a bummer. Dems need to get there act together in Wisconsin. </p><p>The liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court has refused to hear Democratic challenges to congressional district boundaries, a blow to Democrats hoping for more favorable maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. This decision, made without explanation, marks the second time the court has declined such challenges. Despite Democrats gaining seats after state legislative maps were redrawn, the congressional maps remain unchanged, keeping six of eight U.S. House seats in Republican hands. Democrats argue the current maps violate the state constitution’s equality requirement. They aim to flip seats in western and southeastern Wisconsin, but the existing boundaries still favor Republicans. </p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-redistricting-congress-supreme-court-65f1b019febe9ca0d0db234b975b3445" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/wisconsin-r</span><span class="invisible">edistricting-congress-supreme-court-65f1b019febe9ca0d0db234b975b3445</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/Wisconsin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wisconsin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/Redistricting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Redistricting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/Gerrymandering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gerrymandering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/Elections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Elections</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.vtip.me/tags/CongressionalDistricts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CongressionalDistricts</span></a></p>
