flag Wisconsin courts hear redistricting lawsuits over 2011 maps, alleging Republican gerrymander and Democratic vote dilution ahead of 2026 midterms.

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