It just got harder for Wisconsin Democrats to rig an election:

In May, Democrats asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where liberal justices hold a 4-3 majority, to reconsider the state’s congressional district boundaries ahead of the 2026 midterms. “It’s good that Wisconsin has fair maps at the state level, but we deserve them at the federal level as well,” Democratic Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan said, as reported by the Associated Press. “Unfortunately, gerrymandered maps for members of Congress will remain in Wisconsin.” In April, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) notably unveiled a list of 35 competitive House districts it is hoping to flip in the upcoming midterms, which included two seats in Wisconsin, currently held by Republican Reps. Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden. The state’s Supreme Court in 2022 approved Wisconsin’s current election maps. The court’s decision comes after it similarly rejected a Democratic lawsuit aiming to toss out Wisconsin’s congressional maps in March 2024. “The bipartisan rejection of the radical Democrats’ desperate and politically motivated attempt to redraw the map in their favor offers a strong preview of how Wisconsin voters will reject the Democrats’ out of touch and radical agenda next year at the ballot box,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Zach Bannon told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement.
