The "Iowa Model" redistricting measure has been introduced, with bi-partisan support, in the Wisconsin Legislature and will be formally rolled out by the lead sponsors on Tuesday, July 16 at 10:30 AM in the Assembly Parlor of the State Capitol.

Last Thursday's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to not inject itself, or other federal courts into the question of whether or not hyper-partisan redistricting could deny voters equal protection under the law was deeply disturbing, disappointing and disgusting – but not surprising.

An analysis by CC/WI Board member and former state representative Penny Bernard Schaber demonstrates that Wisconsin voters and their local elected officials throughout the state overwhelmingly support ending partisan gerrymandering.

The Republican Chairs of the Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Finance Committee announced today that they will take non-partisan redistricting reform out of Gov. Tony Evers' 2019-2021 biennium budget proposal – despite overwhelming support for this reform.

Jay Heck, executive director of Common Cause, consistently pushes for reforms intended to keep government on the up-and-up and make it work better for all citizens, not just the favored few. He calls out politicians and their powerful supporters, and he does so with facts and figures that cannot be denied.

Who is Gerry Mandering and what is he doing to the citizens of Wisconsin?
