No matter how much Wisconsin voters might want to elect a Democratic Legislature, the Republican gerrymander won’t allow them to.

In 2018, this gerrymander proved strong enough to allow Wisconsin Republicans to win a supermajority of seats in the Assembly despite losing the vote for every statewide office and the statewide legislative vote by 8 percentage points, 54 to 46.

With their gerrymander in place, they have an almost permanent grip on the State Legislature, with supermajorities in both chambers.

With these majorities, they can limit the reach and power of any Democrat elected to statewide office and remove — or neutralize — any justice who might rule against the gerrymander.

In response to Can't Think of Clever Name.
I was besides myself when I read other reports that DEI had been gutted at UW.
Today feeling a bit better.
The republicans are trying to do donald tump's bidding against "those people" while supporting certain people who look like them.
I hope UW can continue to hang tough
