Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed new electoral maps into law, responding to a state Supreme Court decision that prior maps were unconstitutional.

The revised maps are designed to balance Democratic and Republican districts, expected to slightly favor Democrats in the upcoming elections.

The new configuration consists of 45 Democratic-leaning, 46 Republican-leaning, and 8 tossup districts, potentially altering state Legislature power dynamics.

Republican leaders have expressed disapproval of the new maps, while Democrats are preparing to capitalize on them in the next elections to regain majorities.

Governor Evers defended his action as a necessary adjustment to accurately represent Wisconsin's politically diverse, or 'purple,' electorate.
