MADISON - The decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, late last Friday, to impose the rigged Republican maps on us is one of the most infuriating in recent memory.

Infuriating because it violates the separation of powers and the people’s will.

Justice Brian Hagedorn was especially pathetic in his surrender to his nasty conservative colleagues.

I write about all this here: Hagedorn Blinks on Maps.

But rest assured, we will continue to fight to ban gerrymandering in Wisconsin until victory is won.

We’ll also keep tracking all the money in our politics.

Our state has suffered tremendously in the last ten years due too grossly gerrymandered maps. Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court gave us another ten, says Senator.

Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court announced the adoption of the GOP’s legislative maps in a 4-3 ruling. Justice Hagedorn, after previously backing Governor Evers’ maps, joined fellow conservatives on the vote. State Senator Melissa Agard (D-Madison) released the following statement:

“This is a terrible day for democracy in Wisconsin. Our state and our democracy has suffered tremendously in the last ten years due too grossly rigged, gerrymandered maps by the GOP behind closed doors. Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has sided with another ten years of highly partisan maps.

“Once again, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has demonstrated that they do not believe in upholding judicial fairness. Instead, this decision will only further suppress Wisconsin voters, who are already suffering the consequences of gerrymandering.

“The people of Wisconsin are fierce advocates for fair, nonpartisan maps. Voters should be choosing their elected officials—not the other way around. I am ashamed of this blatantly partisan decision made by the State Supreme Court.

“We must keep fighting for fair maps. Wisconsin’s democracy has never been more in jeopardy.”
