If this was Scott Walker instead of Tony Evers, this story would be a headline story in every newspaper across the State every single day. Since it is Evers however, there is relative silence and apologist coverage.wisconsinrightnow.com/2022/1…

How to say you haven't purchased gas or groceries this year without saying you haven't purchased gas or groceries this year...
I’m excited to say that our economy is stronger than when I first took office. Our workforce participation rate is exceeding the national average, and we continue to have a record low unemployment rate.

And this is where the dishonest nature of this group came into play. The Evers maps did, in fact, contain numerous examples of partisan gerrymandering -- and this group helped provide cover to the Gover. Here is an example we've used in the past of an Evers gerrymander.
Replying to @AJBayatpour
The Princeton project gave Evers's maps an 'A' rating for partisan balance. SCOWIS originally adopted those maps but SCOTUS sent them back, asking for evidence the Evers maps didn't violate the Voting Rights Act by adding a 7th majority-Black Assembly district in Milwaukee.

Didn't you: 1) Propose massive tax hikes, 2) Try to cancel an election, and 3) Get taken to court because you wanted to shut down main street businesses for months longer than you already had? #WIRIGHT

I'm shocked to learn that a group claiming to be against gerrymandering would collude to manipulate data. Absolutely shocked (sarcasm).
So, it appears @princetongerry was manipulating data to benefit Democrats. They gave @GovEvers an "A" grade for his unlawful map. Is anyone going to ask if Evers had contact with @SamWangPhD?

People who believe that the maps drawn by the Republican legislatures were a gerrymander and that the maps drawn by @GovEvers were not need to rethink things. That belief is either naive or partisan.

Jan 19th🧵 from @CSWisconsin explores why the Evers' map had fatal flaws leaving the leg plan as the best remaining alternative before the court. I have previously outlined flaws in the leg plan, but noted they are not fatal. Thus, the success chance of DEM appeal is very low.
Today's 🧵... Redistricting oral arguments happening before the SCOWIS today. Our Executive Director @joeminocqua conducted an extensive analysis of the 6 maps under consideration. Summary: They all have flaws. But the Legislature’s map performs the best on the legal criteria.

NEW: Wisconsin Supreme Court selects legislature's maps. "the maps proposed by the Wisconsin Legislature are race neutral. ...we adopt the state senate and assembly maps proposed by the Legislature for the State of Wisconsin." Decision --> will-law.org/wp-content/uplo…

At least he signed the "extreme" GOP budgets and tax cuts you voted against. He's even taking credit for them. #wiright

The only way to ensure long-term uniform administration of election laws (regardless of which party controls the legislature or Governor's office) is to amend the State Constitution. See more about our Election Integrity Initiative here: commonsensewisconsin.com/ele…

Nothing improves neighborhood retail like taking parking away from potential customers.

He tweets this. He says this. Yet, Governor Evers' redistricting scheme (since rejected by the US Supreme Court) split 115 municipalities. Far more than other maps submitted.
Building for Wisconsin's future is my top priority. That’s why we’ve taken a localized, regional approach to solve problems. We’re tackling each community’s unique challenges with community-based solutions.

See the thread.
🧵 "It (evers' map) is still better than the one submitted by GOP Legislature" No, it's not. Let's go back and review some of the numbers we shared with you back in December and January.
Replying to @wisgop
Their swipe was at the liberals + Hagedorn who comprised the majority decision. But you knew that.
And Evers absolutely did not produce a least change map. Municipal splits galore and extreme movement in Milwaukee County. As we've discussed at length here.

7-2 SCOTUS agreed.
Replying to @CSWisconsin
The key takeaways from his hypocrisy: Evers' super-secret submission is not a least change map. Even if it were, it is inferior to the Legislative plan on the other redistricting criteria. The Evers plan threatens 30 yrs of progress on minority representation in the Legislature.

If given the opportunity, perhaps the leg could also improve on their core retention numbers.
Replying to @joeminocqua
The Legislature could also fix its own flaw. As their counsel noted in a prior brief, the line between AD10 and AD11 could be moved to avoid the packing problem found in the legislative plan.
