The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday tossed out state legislative maps in Wisconsin that were drawn by Democratic Governor Tony Evers
, but it left in place the governor's congressional maps.
In its decision, the Supreme Court said that the Wisconsin Supreme Court is"free to take additional evidence if it prefers to reconsider the Governor's maps rather than choose from among the other submissions. Any new analysis, however, must comply with our equal protection jurisprudence.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Elana Kagan, called the Supreme Court's decision"not only extraordinary but also unnecessary." Wisconsin's adopted congressional map will remain in place, since the U.S. Supreme Court rejected an attempt by Republican congressmen to overturn those lines. Those lines are expected to hold a GOP advantage in Wisconsin's congressional delegation.
