Federal Panel Refuses To Dismiss Redistricting Lawsuit Brought By Democrats

A federal panel of three judges has refused to dismiss the redistricting lawsuit brought by Democrats.
The ruling against Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature keeps the federal case alive.
Republicans want it to be decided at the state court level.
The judge also combined two lawsuits and allowed five Republican members of the state’s congressional delegation and Democratic Governor Tony Evers to intervene.
A third lawsuit over redistricting is still pending before the state Supreme Court.
