Wisconsin’s Redistricting maps from the 2010 Census are in the federal court system and are apparently being re-drawn by the state legislators in Madison. A three judge Federal Panel found the maps unconstitutional in November, 2016 and on January 27th the State of Wisconsin was ordered to prepare new maps by November 1st of this year to be used in the 2018 election. The district boundaries for State Senate and Assembly are in question but apparently the Congressional District boundaries are acceptable.
