(MADISON) The Wisconsin Legislature has been in special session for more than two weeks to consider a constitutional amendment to ban partisan gerrymandering. But nothing has really happened since the session began on April 14th.
“Historically, I think there’s been a really strong argument that we should have the redistricting process be independent and outside the political process,” said State Rep. Andrew Hysell (D-Sun Prairie) “And that’s been something that for decades, I think Democrats have been pushing for.”
But Hysell says he’s not sure what the holdup is. Since the session hasn’t been gavelled out, so there’s still an opportunity for Governor Evers and Republican legislative leaders to negotiate.
