Wisconsin Republicans approve maps proposed by Democratic governor

Wisconsin Republicans in the Senate and Assembly passed legislative maps on Tuesday drawn up by Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) before the state’s Democratic-appointed majority Supreme Court could approve maps that would have been more detrimental to the GOP ahead of the election.

The Senate passed the maps in an 18-14 vote, with one Democrat voting along with most Republicans and five Republicans joining nine Democrats opposing it, per the Associated Press.
