Governor vows to veto Republican-backed redistricting maps

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vowed to veto the Republican-backed redistricting maps the state Senate approved on Monday that would likely give the GOP a majority in the legislature for the next decade.

"Republicans' new gerrymandered maps are modeled after the same gerrymandered ones we've had for a decade," Evers wrote in a tweet Monday afternoon.

"I won't sign them. Wisconsinites want and deserve #fairmaps now," he added.

The Wisconsin Senate voted along party lines 21-12 to approve the congressional maps, which were drawn by Republicans, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
