WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the use of a map configuring Wisconsin's congressional districts for this year's elections drawn by Democratic Governor Tony Evers, giving a boost to efforts by President Joe Biden's party to retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The justices turned away a Republican bid to block the map drafted by Evers and approved by the Wisconsin Supreme Court setting boundaries for the state's eight U.S. House districts after the governor vetoed one made by the Republican-controlled legislature he deemed unfairly skewed against Democrats. The emergency request to the justices was made by five Republican U.S. House members.

The court also granted a Republican request seeking to block new maps for Wisconsin's state legislature.

There's nothing more at the link. I hope they update the story to include more information.

This seems to be a win for us in the U.S. House, and a loss for us in the WI state legislature.

8. Yes, that was what I was thinking

I thought maybe I'd read the first article incorrectly.

11. Both are correct

My understanding:

Congressional maps proposed by Evers stand, hopefully WI-3 (open seat) remains Dem.

State Assembly maps rejected because Evers's maps diluted the Black representation. Not sure what the next step is.

4. This is not true

The SC just reversed it.

10. There is PPP-Piss poor reporting.

As I understand it, they greenlighted the Congressional map and mixed the State Assembly map.

12. Correct
