Maps Madness: Voters vs. Politicians

press release: All are invited to a unique event on March 7 at noon outside the State Capitol. To illustrate how unfair the gerrymandering process is in Wisconsin, a coalition of good government groups is hosting a “Voters vs. Politicians” basketball game outside of the State Capitol at noon next Wednesday, March 7.

The politicians’ squad will be shooting at a seven-foot rim while the voters’ squad will be shooting at a ten-foot rim.

After the game, there will be a press conference to demand that the legislature hold a special session to pass a bill for nonpartisan redistricting, and to seek pledges from candidates that they support nonpartisan redistricting.

Matt Rothschild of WDC be saying a few words, as will some of our allies in the Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition. If you are on Facebook, please share the event page widely. It’s going to be fun!

            When: March 7 at 12:30 pm

            Where: Outside the State Capitol in Madison (State Street side)

            What: A Spoof on the Gerrymandering in Wisconsin
