MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers will call for enacting a nonpartisan redistricting process as part of the state budget he introduces on Thursday. Republicans who control the Legislature oppose such a move and are expected to block the Evers proposal. Evers will propose taking responsibility of drawing the state’s political maps away from the Legislature and give it to a nonpartisan agency instead. The move comes as Democrats are fighting Wisconsin’s current Republican-drawn maps in court. Evers’ plan would require the Legislature to vote on maps drawn at the direction of a new nonpartisan commission, but they would be restricted in what changes could be made. The governor would still sign or veto the bill.
