“Attorneys for Republican lawmakers are asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to reconsider its 4-3 decision that found the state’s current legislative maps unconstitutional and ordered them to draw new ones, arguing their timeline to do so is rushed,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
“The court ordered parties on Dec. 22 to submit map proposals by Jan. 12, and consultants are set to review them by Feb. 1. The Wisconsin Elections Commission has said maps must be in place by March 15 for the fall legislative races. Candidates must circulate nomination papers for an Aug. 13 partisan primary ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.”
“But Republicans argue instituting new maps as the 2024 elections draw closer would ‘needlessly disrupt the electoral process.'”
