In Wisconsin The Lines Have Been Re-Drawn

Re; Re-districting

Federal judges re-drew the lines for the south side of Milwaukee's Assembly Districts 8 & 9. Last month a three-judge panel ruled that the maps crafted by Republican lawmakers violated the voting rights of Latinos. To dilute their voting power, Latino voters were divided into two Assembly districts, instead of being concentrated into one district where they could have more influence on an election.  Republican lawmakers continue to assert their re-disticting maps are fair.
