Office of Governor Tony Evers *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:* February 1, 2024 Contact:[email protected]? ? *Gov. Evers Releases Statement Regarding Expert Report Submitted to Wisconsin Supreme Court in Redistricting Lawsuit* ? MADISON ? Gov. Tony Evers tonight released a statement regarding the expert report submitted to the Wisconsin Supreme Court today in a redistricting lawsuit relating to the state?s legislative districts. Importantly, the expert report specifically addresses maps submitted by Republicans in the Wisconsin State Legislature and the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, stating, in part: ?[T]he Legislature?s plan does not deserve further consideration?.We also note that both the Legislature?s plan and the Johnson plan, from a social science perspective, are partisan gerrymanders. The four other submitted plans are similar on most criteria.?

Gov. Evers released the following statement:

?This report plainly affirms for Wisconsinites what we?ve said all along: the maps Republicans submitted to the Wisconsin Supreme Court are nothing more than a partisan gerrymander.

?The days of Wisconsinites living under some of the most gerrymandered maps in the country are numbered. While this is just one step in this process, today is an important day for the people of Wisconsin who deserve maps that are fair, responsive, and reflect the will of the people.? ?
