Two lawsuits challenging Wisconsin’s congressional maps, which currently favor Republicans, who hold six of eight U.S. House seats in a politically divided state, may not be resolved ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Hearings held before three-judge panels on Dec. 12 revolved around schedules, as plaintiffs asked for new maps to be decided by March 2026 and defendants sought 2027 trials.
