NDRC Statement on Legal Challenge Against Wisconsin’s Gerrymandered Legislative Maps

Washington, D.C. – Today, John Bisognano, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), released the following statement ahead of the oral arguments before the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a lawsuit challenging the state’s gerrymandered legislative maps: 

“Wisconsin’s state legislative maps are some of the most egregiously gerrymandered in the nation and have been for more than a decade. The state legislature has time and time again restricted the rights and freedoms of the people without consequence because of these horrendously manipulated maps. This challenge is a step toward justice for the voters and restoring a more representative democracy to the state.”
