Re Districting Of State For Election May Force Legal Fight
Wisconsin Attorney General John E. Martin invited lawyers for two World War II veterans to discuss possible court action to compel legislative redistricting. The move stems from claims that the 1940 census reapportionment was not enacted, with a state constitutional provision cited as requiring action. Attorneys Lawton and Totte were asked to meet Martin to plan expeditious procedures. Nelson and Bruner seek to bar secretary of state from elections until reapportionment is achieved. The request has statewide significance and raises questions on court authority in redistricting.
