Wisconsin Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Congressional Map Gerrymandering Lawsuits

Wisconsin Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Congressional Map Gerrymandering Lawsuits

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in two lawsuits challenging the state's congressional districts, alleging they are gerrymandered and must be redrawn. These cases, brought by liberal firms Elias Law Group and Law Forward, were previously dismissed by special judicial panels at the circuit court level. Elias Law Group argues that the current 6-2 Republican majority in the U.S. House delegation is due to partisan gerrymandering and that the 'least changes' directive from the court's former conservative majority for the 2020 redraw was invalid. Law Forward, representing Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy, introduces a new claim of 'anti-competitive gerrymandering,' asserting the map protects incumbents above all else, violating state constitutional principles. The Supreme Court will specifically rule on whether the lower panels were correct in dismissing these cases, not on the maps themselves.

South Dakota Voter Notification Letters for Federal-Only Status Under Legal Scrutiny

South Dakota Voter Notification Letters for Federal-Only Status Under Legal Scrutiny

A federal judge is set to rule on whether South Dakota's Secretary of State is violating the U.S. Constitution through allegedly misleading notification letters sent to voters registered as "federal-only." The lawsuit, filed by the League of Women Voters and a Sioux Falls resident, challenges the state's implementation of a law signed by Governor Larry Rhoden in March, which requires proof of citizenship for new voter registrations. Voters who do not provide such documentation are registered as federal-only, meaning they can only vote in federal elections. The core of the dispute revolves around the content of the notification letters, which allegedly fail to accurately explain why a voter has been designated federal-only and how they can remedy their status, citing only mail-forwarding address issues even when citizenship documentation is the cause.
