Wisconsin: With a new liberal majority on the Wisconsin supreme court, at least one organization is planning to bring a new legal challenge to the state’s Congressional and legislative maps. Expect litigation in the late summer or early Fall.
Boston, MA: The Boston City Council’s “unity map” is under litigation for racial gerrymandering and after a trial last week, a federal court must decide whether the map will stand. The judge hearing the case has warned that if the map is overturned, the court will not elect to redraw the map or have a special master draw a remedial map. A decision is not expected for at least several more weeks.
