Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses itself, picks GOP maps for Legislature – Florida Phoenix
On Friday night, the Wisconsin Supreme Courtroom reversed course and selected new political maps determined by the Republican-held Legislature — extending the state’s strict partisan gerrymander for one more ten years.
March 1, the state Supreme Courtroom determined Wisconsin’s new political dividing strains in a 4-3 resolution. Conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn sided with the courtroom’s liberals in selecting maps proposed by Gov. Tony Evers — which included an added majority-minority district in Milwaukee.
On March 23, the U.S. Supreme Courtroom struck down the state courtroom’s resolution on Wisconsin’s legislative maps, saying there wanted to be extra proof to justify the added majority-minority district.
On Friday, Hagedorn sided with the conservatives. Within the majority opinion, written by Chief Justice Annette Ziegler, the conservatives stated there wasn’t sufficient proof to show the added district was crucial.
“Upon evaluation of the report, we conclude that inadequate proof is offered to justify drawing state legislative districts on the idea of race,” Ziegler wrote. “The maps proposed by the Governor, Senator Janet Bewley, Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (“BLOC”), and Citizen Mathematicians and Scientists (“CMS”) are racially motivated and, below the Equal Safety Clause, they fail strict scrutiny.”
Sachin Chheda, director of the Truthful Elections Challenge, stated in a press release that the courtroom had killed Wisconsin’s democracy. Since 2011, Wisconsin has had one of many strictest partisan gerrymanders within the nation, baking a Republican majority into the Legislature that’s practically inconceivable for Democrats to beat within the 50-50 state.
“After years of organizing, a whole bunch of hours of litigation, tens of hundreds of volunteers advocating, and thousands and thousands of residents calling for honest maps, the extraordinarily partisan justices on the State Supreme Courtroom are selecting to kill democracy in 2022,” Chheda stated. “At this time, the justices within the majority selected judicial activism. The rigged maps drawn by the legislature final yr have been beforehand rejected 3 times — and these maps are much more gerrymandered than these drawn in 2011. With none authorized foundation or precedent, and ignoring a call they made only a month in the past, the Wisconsin Supreme Courtroom is displaying its true colours: political achieve over judicial equity.”
Earlier than Friday’s resolution was introduced, Rep. David Bowen (D-Milwaukee), who’s operating for lieutenant governor and due to this fact not depending on district strains, stated the shortage of maps has inserted plenty of confusion within the course of and hampered makes an attempt to recruit candidates to run in a yr that is filled with legislative retirements.
“I’ve so many people occupied with operating on the Democratic facet they usually do not know, that’s inflicting plenty of confusion,” he stated. “That’s not good for an period the place we’re making an attempt to guard democracy. It hurts individuals’s possibilities to get entangled. It’s laborious for candidate recruitment for certain as a variety of conversations are taking place for Meeting seats and we’ve got a variety of people who find themselves not going to return subsequent yr. It’s essential we’ve got it ironed out. It’s April 15 and we do not know what these districts are going to seem like.”
Even with a call, it’s unclear how lengthy it can take for the maps to be in place. The Wisconsin Elections Fee is chargeable for implementing the maps as soon as they’re determined, which includes the sophisticated work of exactly putting the dividing strains within the state’s WisVote system.

The Wisconsin vs Nebraska doubleheader ends with volleyball taking center stage Saturday night.
After the Badgers-Cornhuskers football teams do battle in the afternoon at Memorial Stadium, the highly ranked volleyball teams square off down the road on campus in Lincoln, Nebraska.
And it doesn’t get any bigger in women’s volleyball than Wisconsin and Nebraska. The Big Ten rivals and national powers will meet for a second time this season with a lot at stake.
Wisconsin (21-5, 15-2 Big Ten), ranked sixth in the most recent American Volleyball Coaches Association top 25 poll, will look to exact some revenge after Nebraska swept the Badgers earlier this month in Madison. It was Wisconsin’s first and only home loss of the season. A win will also keep the Badgers’ Big Ten title hopes alive.
Nebraska (27-1, 17-0) is on a march toward perfection in the Big Ten and another conference championship. The Cornhuskers, ranked No. 2 nationally, haven’t lost at home this season and are poised for a top seed again in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

Wisconsin vs Nebraska volleyball prediction
As winners of its last six matches, Wisconsin has found its groove. The Badgers showed their fight in rallying for a wild five-set win over Minnesota earlier this week and before that gave Penn State its first Big Ten loss of the season last Saturday.
Can UW now give Nebraska its first conference loss? The Cornhuskers might just be too good in 2024 and will avoid the upset. Nebraska has won 24 straight matches since its lone defeat on Sept. 3, and with another victory it’ll get closer to a second straight Big Ten championship. Few Big Ten teams have even come close to beating Nebraska this season. The Cornhuskers have 13 sweeps in their 17 conference victories.
One of those 3-0 match wins came against Wisconsin three weeks ago. Kelly Sheffield’s team won’t be swept again, but the Cornhuskers will outlast the Badgers in a hard-fought five-set match before a sold-out crowd at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
