In Wisconsin, two lawsuits challenge the current congressional voting maps, alleging they favor Republicans. Despite former President Trumps push for national redistricting changes, Indiana Republicans rejected his request. The Wisconsin cases are now before newly assigned three-judge panels, with attorneys for Democrats seeking a ruling by March 1st, while Republicans argue for a later trial date. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, with a liberal majority, ordered these cases to be heard by these panels. One lawsuit claims the current maps are unconstitutional due to an anti-competitive gerrymander, while the other argues they discriminate against Democrats. The states eight U.S. House seats are now held by six Republicans, with only two considered truly competitive.
