    As a Wisconsinite, I say…

    Fuck Robin Vos. He’s been a blight on this state for over a decade and it’s high time he is shown the door. Hopefully with the Wisconsin Supreme Court, we can finally get rid of these stupidly gerrymandered congressional maps and have representation that actually reflects the population.

      But he says right in the article that it’s not the maps. Republicans earning 45% of the statewide vote but ending up with 2/3 of the seats in the legislature is completely fair, apparently.

        I wonder if he said the bit where he suggested that Democrats may not have more seats because of campaign or strategy with a straight face?

        Maybe he’s saying that the democratic need to get better at unrigging the maps? Meanwhile he has blocked effectively, so that’s good strategy?
