One of the goals of Evers’ partisan gerrymander was to force good GOP legislators out of public life.

@wisconsin_now There is no Evers’ gerrymander. The GOP saw a map they liked, they presented it, they voted on it, and they passed it.
@wisconsin_now Cowles needed to go years ago! We don’t love term limits, but when legislators can’t realize when it is time to pass the torch, let the re-gerrymandering hatchet fall! Good riddance! Time for a debate of fresh ideas!
@wisconsin_now Hopefully once Justice Schimel throws out these gerrymandered maps- the same happens to many Democrats.
@wisconsin_now I remember the former GOP party doing the same. Let those tears flow
@wisconsin_now I thought the goal was to have, in a 50-50 state, that the Legislature reflects that. Assembly should be 52-47 either way (or closer) and Senate will be 18-15 (or closer!) either way.
@wisconsin_now Define "good legislators". Definitely not any of the WIGOP we know. x.com/VivianCreekmor…

@wisconsin_now Yep - that’s what would happen with fair maps. Those who cheated to get in… now have to defend themselves.
