The Wisconsin Supreme Court hears arguments in a case that could toss what critics say are the state’s lopsided legislative maps.

It’d really be good for everyone in the long run if the maps are tossed. We have several states that wouldn’t qualify as democracies at the state legislature level, Wisconsin and North Carolina being the most egregious. That just isn’t sustainable. (It’s obviously good for Democrats in the short run if Wisconsin’s gerrymandered map is tossed. I’d argue it’s good for Republicans long run since there’s more than one way for the people to assert their will and all the ones besides free and fair elections get messy quick.)
It’s also good for R politicians since it would keep them from being assassinated since that would be the only available option next.
