From the Article:

Senate Republicans are considering adopting legislative maps drawn by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers with no changes, Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu told the Wisconsin State Journal Wednesday.

While the maps Evers proposed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court could dramatically reduce — and even reverse — Republicans’ legislative majority, GOP lawmakers have found the governor’s maps to be more favorable for them than the other three Democrat-supported alternatives before the court.

In response, Evers told reporters, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” Asked whether he’d sign the proposal into law if his maps remain unchanged, he said, “Why not?”

LeMahieu, R-Oostburg, later told reporters that Senate Republicans will consider Evers’ maps along with other alternatives in a closed discussion Wednesday. Any action to pass the governor’s maps would likely be taken in the next two weeks, LeMahieu said.

Republicunts. Never trust em.
They are bad people at their core.

The only reason they're pretending to play ball now is because they know they will not win this legal challenge and are hoping to use evers maps, maintain their majority and scuttle the court case altogether.

I say screw it. Fight them in court.
