2024 redistricting overview: Evers’ legislative maps versus 2022 lines

Tony Evers has signed off on a bill from the GOP-dominated Legislature drawing new legislative district lines for the 2024 fall elections. The bill has the exact maps the Dem governor had earlier submitted to the state Supreme Court.

The guv’s signature likely ends the possibility the state Supreme Court will draw the maps. In throwing out the GOP-drawn lines used in the 2022 election, the liberal majority urged the Legislature and Evers to pass a new map and signaled it would defer to them if they did.

The bill was approved by the Assembly and the Senate on Feb. 13 as Republicans feared the newly liberal state Supreme Court would approve even more pro-Democratic maps. 

Evers’ maps would provide a path to the majority for Dems after spending the last dozen years in deep minorities. Still, analysts believe it would take at least two cycles for Dems to have a chance to win control of the Senate and note factors such as the top of the ticket would play a role in the battle for the Assembly this fall.
