2 Wisconsin congressional redistricting lawsuits may not resolve by 2026 midterm election

MADISON, WI (AP)— A pair of lawsuits seeking to redraw congressional boundary lines that currently favor Republicans in Wisconsin are on track to be resolved after the 2026 midterms.

However, an attorney for Democratic voters argued Friday in court that there’s still time to enact new maps for the November election.

Court hearings in both cases came the day after Indiana Republicans soundly rejected President Donald Trump’s demand that they redraw congressional lines in that deep red state.

The attorney for Republican congressmen argued it would be unfair to resolve the case in time for the November election.
