"A federal court hearing a challenge to Wisconsin's Republican-led redistricting sharply criticized the expensive, secretive, and "peculiarly furtive process" employed by the GOP in drawing and defending the maps, but announced a close to "this unfortunate chapter in Wisconsin political history."
"We cannot help but conclude that the people of Wisconsin deserve better in the next round of redistricting after the 2020 census," the three-judge panel wrote.
The decision ends a long legal battle over the gerrymandered Republican maps, but leaves unresolved the extent to which records were deleted in defiance of court orders."
