Law Forward appeals anti-competitive gerrymander decision

About this episode

Doug Poland from Law Forward discusses the appeal of a dismissed lawsuit regarding Wisconsin's congressional maps.

A three-judge panel dismissed a lawsuit on Tuesday that claims Wisconsin’s congressional maps are an anti-competitive gerrymander. Law Forward, the Madison-based firm representing the plaintiffs, is already pursuing an appeal. Doug Poland, their director of litigation, joined WORT News Producer Faye Parks to explain what’s next – and why they believe the panel got it wrong. Image courtesy: Brian Standing / WORT News.
