Wisconsin Redistricting & Ballot Measures for the August Primary Election
For decades, extreme gerrymandering suppressed Democratic votes at the state level and gave a near-supermajority in the legislature to the Wisconsin GOP, despite the fact that Wisconsin is a true purple state. Last year, Wisconsin voters elected liberal justice Janet Protasiewicz to the state Supreme Court. Shortly thereafter, the gerrymandered maps were declared unconstitutional by the reconfigured court, and Governor Evers signed in new, fair maps. This year's August primary will mark the first time that the new, fairly drawn maps will be applied.
Also on the ballot this August are two important constitutional amendments: one that, if approved, would require the state legislature's approval before the governor can allocate federal money appropriated to the state; and another that, if approved, would add language to the state Constitution specifying that only U.S. citizens who are 18 years old or older can vote in federal, state, local, or school elections.
Join us on June 29 to hear from a knowledgeable panel of speakers about the new maps and ballot measures, and what you need to know about these issues before casting your primary vote.
