MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans are making a last-ditch effort to avoid having the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court put in place new legislative district boundaries for the November election.

Democrats and the public didn’t have a chance to review the maps ahead of their release. The Wisconsin Supreme Court last month tossed the current Republican-drawn district boundaries as unconstitutional and ordered new maps.

Tony Evers proposed, but with fewer incumbent lawmakers having to face one another in November.
