Here's our analysis of Governor Evers' secretly-crafted redistricting maps, which (after ignoring his own commission's work) he submitted to the Wisconsin Supreme Court last week. Warning, this 🧵 will be at least a dozen tweets long. Our Executive Director @joeminocqua has completed this initial review of the map Governor Evers has submitted to the court.

We are not doing an in-depth dive into Gov. Evers ‘People’s” Commission maps at this time for 2 reasons:
1) The Commission omitted the Voting Rights Act from its criteria. And in the drawing of their maps it appears this cornerstone of American civil rights was ignored No plan that ignores the VRA with only a vague promise to get to it later can be taken seriously.
2) The maps are presented to the public on a flawed application called Districtr. As a result, the public cannot ascertain performance on certain criteria outlined by the Commission.
