MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic voters in Wisconsin have asked the state’s liberal-controlled Supreme Court to throw out the battleground state’s current congressional district boundaries after a similar request was rejected last year. Both petitions were filed by the Elias Law Group. The latest one, filed Wednesday and made public yesterday, seeks to have the state’s eight congressional district lines redrawn ahead of the 2026 midterms. Republicans currently hold six of the eight seats, but only two of those districts are considered to be competitive. The petition asks for the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, skipping lower courts. The court is controlled 4-3 by liberal justices.
