Wisconsin’s governor on Monday signed into law new maps that redraw voting lines for state legislative seats and undo a decade of gerrymandering that favored Republicans across the state.
Gov. Tony Evers (D) said the overhaul was a step toward “a fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting system.” The new maps were approved by the Republican-controlled legislature with support from both parties.
“Wisconsin is not a red state or a blue state — we’re a purple state, and I believe our maps should reflect that basic fact,” Evers said in a statement. “The people should get to choose their elected officials, not the other way around. And under the maps I’m signing today, I am making good on that promise.”
The new maps are for state legislative elections, not congressional districts. Republicans hold six of the state’s eight congressional seats.
