Conservative group files redistricting lawsuit in Wisconsin

A conservative legal group filed a redistricting lawsuit against Wisconsin state elections officials on Monday, the third such legal action in less than two weeks asking separate courts to intervene in the state’s reapportionment process and declare its current congressional districts unconstitutional.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, on behalf of four voters, asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to rule that the state’s constitution requires a new reapportionment plan to be drawn and to enjoin the Wisconsin Elections Commission from administering any election under the state’s current legislative and congressional maps.
