Wisconsin Republican legislators and party officials are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to revise both the U.S. House district boundaries, and the legislative district boundaries, in separate lawsuits. The case concerning legislative districts is Wisconsin Legislature v Wisconsin Elections Commission, 21A471. A response from the Elections Commission is due Friday, March 11.
The case concerning U.S. House districts is Grothman v Bostelmann, 21A490. The response brief is due March 15. That case was filed by all five of Wisconsin’s Republican U.S. House members.
G math 00001 –
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 g dists = 1/4 or less CONTROL = oligarchy with monarch hack bosses.

PR in ALL legis body elections.
Simple PR –
Total Votes / Total Members = EQUAL votes to elect each member
ALL votes count.
@az:
That’s one reason that we have bicameral legislatures. If one party can control one house with 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 votes, then with 2 houses you need 2 * 1/4 = 1/2 votes for full legislative control.
ONLY MN legislature is divided now.
SEE NCSL website.
WZ – same 1/4 control in 48 of 49 States.
1/4 in NE – one house – alleged nonpartisan

PR — MAJORITY RULE — aka Democracy in all regimes.
A number of the state senates have about half/half split terms.
Results – even worse than 1/4 rule – due to moving voters having 2 or more state senate votes in a cycle.
Esp in XXX2 years with possible new gerrymander districts.

Bit worse for USA Senate – possible 3 or more votes in 6 year cycle for mover voters.
