Huge blow to Dems in Wisconsin, somewhat expected given the GOP-majority court is among the most polarized in the country.
The ruling's effect is that the HEAVILY gerrymandered maps the GOP drew for 2010s will carry into the 2020s, no matter the veto power Dems gained in 2018.

Wisconsin's 2019 Supreme Court race, held far (far) from the national spotlight in the spring of 2019 and which the GOP-aligned candidate carried by 5921 votes (out of 1.2 million) will loom very large when it comes to deciding national power thru this coming decade.
Note these developments should not be not surprises. We know (and should know better) that these local & state elections matter & will have momentous consequences when they're happening.

This is a very perverse decision by the GOP majority.
It means a party can gerrymander itself into a legislative majority, & that's enough to ensure it will stay in power there for DECADES no matter who wins other institutions with power over redistricting.
