Governor Tony Evers has signaled he wants to be involved in a redistricting case.
Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul asked a federal court Monday to allow the Governor to intervene in a lawsuit filed last month by fellow Democrats that asks a federal court to draw the state’s next set of electoral maps.
The governor’s motion contends state law recognizes a joint role for both the governor and the Legislature in the redistricting process. The motion further argues the governor should be allowed to provide input in the litigation.
Evers said he plans to submit maps drawn by a commission he created for the consideration of both the Legislature and the federal court.
