MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court overturnedRepublican-drawn legislative maps on Friday and ordered that new district boundary lines be drawn as Democrats had urged in a redistricting case they hope will weaken GOP majorities.

The ruling comes less than a year before the 2024 election in a battleground state where four of the six past presidential elections have been decided by fewer than 23,000 votes, and Republicans have built large majorities in the Legislature under maps they drew over a decade ago.

The court ruled 4-3 in favor of Democrats who argued that the legislative maps are unconstitutional because districts drawn aren’t contiguous. New maps are likely to be unveiled in about two months.

What do you think about letting a computer draw the legislative district borders? For me, I'm all for it, to make the elections fair, as long as the training data fed to the computer is unbiased. I'm not for AI (artificial intelligence) controlling everything though, but for making fair district borderlines, this tech could work.

Sounds okay to me.

Awesome. Just as long as no one hacks into the AI to skew the district borders, if anyone ever implements AI-generated redistricting.
