Maybe I'm misreading it.
I don't think the congressional maps have been presented yet.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
But if you look at what was done in Pennsylvania, they certainly can be redrawn similarly in Wisconsin.
maps. I know a guy who's close to the process and I was passing along his impression of where it's going.
That Republicans have naturally gerrymandered themselves into rural areas.
It really comes down to how you move some lines in the inner suburbs of the cities there. But when I was a kid the legislature traded hands a lot and if anything the dem self gerrymandering in Milwaukee/Madison was worse.
For congressional elections it's nowhere near as. Big a deal as NY or Texas. You might flip one or two seats but the natural gerrymandering there is pretty strong.
