Federal Court Finds Redistricting Unconstitutional
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | November 22, 2016
From WisPolitics.com …
A split three-judge panel yesterday found the Assembly district boundaries Republicans drew in 2011 are an unconstitutional political gerrymander.
Still, the court put off ruling on an appropriate remedy. The Dems who sued over the lines wanted the Assembly districts to be thrown out, for the court to draw a new map and for the judges to ban the state from allowing elections to the maps as drawn.
But the court said it wants the parties to have an opportunity to weigh in on any remedy. As part of today’s decision, the court set a briefing schedule to gather input on that front.
