Republicans could gain a veto-proof majority in the Wisconsin Legislature if things go right this fall, but an expert says it won’t be easy.
The maps approved by the Wisconsin Supreme Court have opened the door.
Marquette researcher John Johnson says the GOP would need to take a 7.2-point win over Democrats.
That would be a better statewide performance than the party has had in years.
And, if it would be difficult for Republicans to claim more than two-thirds of the state’s legislative seats, it would be even harder for Democrats to gain a majority in either the Wisconsin Assembly or Senate.
