WORT 89.9FM Madison · Wisconsin Gerrymandering Still Worst In Nation

In the wake of the 2022 elections, one thing became glaringly obvious:  the gerrymandering of Wisconsin’s legislative districts is more skewed than ever.  In a year when all statewide races were decided by a margin of 3% or less – including narrow Democratic wins for Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State, Republicans still ended up with a 64-35 majority in the state Assembly.  With the next redistricting cycle eight years away, any Democratic hopes for a more balanced legislature may depend on yet another election: the election for State Supreme Court taking place in April of 2023.  Matt DeFour has followed the aftermath of the 2022 elections for Wisconsin Watch. Matt joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on December 19, 2022.
