MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawsuit filed Wednesday asks Wisconsin’s newly liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to throw out Republican-drawn legislative maps as unconstitutional, the latest legal challenge of many nationwide that could upset political boundary lines before the 2024 election.

The long-promised action from a coalition of law firms and voting rights advocacy groups comes the day after the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped from a conservative to liberal majority, with the start of the term of a justice who said that the Republican maps were “rigged” and should be reviewed.

Let's go! I live in WI, and we've all known how important the Supreme Court justice election was. There was nothing but talks about maps leading up to it. And we've been waiting for action since the day the election ended.

The incoming court from the election is just getting seated. There is a several month long lame duck session with the court. That’s why nothing has been done yet.
