US EditionDemocrats ask Wisconsin Supreme Court to toss state's congressional boundaries
- On May 7, 2025, Democratic voters submitted a petition urging the Wisconsin Supreme Court to invalidate the state’s current congressional districts prior to the 2026 midterm elections.
- The suit argues the current maps, drawn under a 2022 conservative court endorsement, violate multiple clauses of Wisconsin's Constitution and discriminate against Democratic voters.
- The Elias Law Group, led by Marc Elias, represents plaintiffs claiming the maps favor Republicans despite a nearly even party split and previous court-ordered legislative map redrawing.
- Republicans hold six of eight U.S. House seats, including two competitive districts represented by Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden, as the 2024 election reaffirmed GOP dominance under these maps.
- If the court grants the petition, it could set a precedent for revisiting congressional districts statewide ahead of 2026, while Republicans dismiss the effort as a failure to win fairly.
