Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled Senate on Tuesday passed legislative maps that were proposed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers — a move that could ultimately prevent the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court from implementing maps that could be even worse for Republicans. The plan now heads to the Assembly, which was expected to pass it later Tuesday. Once approved there, it would go to Evers, who last week promised to sign it into law. This marks the second time in less than a month that the Legislature has tried to enact new Senate and Assembly boundaries before the court issues its order drawing the lines. Evers vetoed the Legislature’s last attempt, which was based on maps he proposed but that made changes to protect Republican incumbents. This time, the Senate passed the Evers maps without any changes to the lines. The bill passed 18-14, with one Democrat joining 17 Republicans in favor and five Republicans joining nine Democrats against.
