WORT 89.9FM Madison · Law Forward’s Mel Barnes on Redistricting Oral Arguments

Last week, the Wisconsin Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that will likely decide how Wisconsin’s congressional and state legislative districts will be drawn.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers, the GOP-controlled legislature, and many other parties all have different ideas about how the maps should be drawn. Law Forward is one of the parties in the case and has submitted its own maps to the Court for consideration.

Staff counsel Mel Barnes joins us to talk about the ongoing saga of redistricting in Wisconsin – and to tell us about the maps Law Forward is proposing.
