Evers' "People's Commission" Maps Suck

Not that anyone expected an Evers-appointed outfit to succeed....

...when Gov. Tony Evers “non-partisan” Peoples Maps Commission unveiled its maps, I could almost hear the ghost of Yogi Berra say it was “like Déjà vu all over again.”

The Peoples Commission regurgitated three failed and flawed Democratic features from past redistricting cycles: 1) Decimation of municipal boundaries; 2) Disregard for communities of interest; and 3) Failure on Voting Rights Act....

Heh.  Kittle describes their fatuous crap.

...The current map...splits 71 municipalities. This, he argued, is evidence of a gerrymander. The Commission responded by saying, “Hold my beer” and proposed a whopping 94 splits.... the Peoples Commission managed to split apart an entire nation. They propose to splinter the Oneida Indian Nation....

...The federal courts in 2012 approved and/or drew majority-minority districts in Milwaukee. The plans put forward by the Peoples Commission obliterate these districts....

Let's hope that Tony didn't PAY for these proposals with taxpayer money, eh?
