Reynolds Seeks Court Action On Wisconsin Redistricting
Madison attorney acting for Gov. Reynolds asks the State Supreme Court to take original jurisdiction in a suit to force reapportionment of Wisconsin legislative districts. A petition by Roland Day seeks expedited action and a show cause order to Secretary of State Zimmerman on holding 1964 elections at large. The filing argues current apportionment violates the 14th Amendment and sets ideal district populations from the 1960 census. Chief Justice Brown schedules a 9 a.m. June 28 hearing for Zimmerman to show cause why the suit should not begin. Reynolds and Zimmerman had exchanged letters on election conduct. Zimmerman said elections would use existing districts unless court orders otherwise.
