Wisconsin courts hear redistricting lawsuits over 2011 maps, alleging Republican gerrymander and Democratic vote dilution ahead of 2026 midterms.
Two new three-judge panels in Wisconsin began hearing redistricting lawsuits for the first time, using a 2011 law never before applied.
The cases challenge the state’s congressional maps, drawn in 2011, arguing they create an unconstitutional Republican gerrymander despite Wisconsin’s political balance.
One lawsuit claims the maps give Republicans an anti-competitive edge, with large margins of victory and disproportionate seat control.
The other alleges Democratic votes are diluted by packing and fracturing.
Both sides seek resolution before the 2026 midterms, though timelines differ.
Final rulings may be appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has a liberal majority.
