Assembly Republicans hire legal help in redistricting fight

Posted

Wisconsin Assembly Republicans hired legal representation Friday. The move follows a similar action taken by their Republican colleagues in the State Senate.

The actions signal a stiffening fight after a federal judge ordered state Republicans to redraw legislative districts, arguing they benefited the GOP while discriminating against Democrats.

Wisconsin's Attorney General Brad Schimel plans to appeal the ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court.
