MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Supreme Court hears arguments Tuesday in a case that could toss what critics say are the state’s lopsided legislative maps.
Republicans have used their big legislative margins to block appointments made by Democratic Gov.
But the case Democrats are making at the high court begins with a more narrow argument about the districts.
But attorney Luke Berg, who represents 10 Wisconsin voters from districts Democrats want to change, challenges the contiguity claim.
Berg says the legislative maps have long recognized that some communities in this state have disconnected neighborhoods.
Protasiewicz has refused to recuse herself from the case for calling the maps “rigged” while campaigning, even as Republican lawmakers threaten to impeach her — depending on how she rules in the redistricting fight.
