WI Supreme Court won’t hear gerrymander case, blunting Musk campaign claims

(The Center Square) – Billionaire Elon Musk stumped for Brad Schimel and spent millions in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race with one central narrative – a liberal-majority court would almost certainly redraw Wisconsin’s congressional maps, handing Democrats a path to retake the U.S. House of Representatives by 2026.

That liberal court proved him wrong.

In a unanimous decision Wednesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to hear two lawsuits claiming the current maps are gerrymandered in favor of Republicans.

Filed by Elias Law Group and Campaign Legal Center, the lawsuits urged the justices to redraw the state’s congressional maps in time for the 2026 midterms.

“Wisconsin voters deserve congressional districts that ensure all voices and viewpoints are fairly represented,” Abha Khanna, a partner of Elias Law Group, which filed the lawsuit, previously said in a statement. “Unfortunately, Wisconsin’s current congressional map has unfairly rewarded Republicans with a significant electoral advantage and will continue to do so for the remainder of the decade.”

The Supreme Court offered no comment on its decision, although the court had previously declined to hear a similar request in 2024, also without stating a reason.

Musk’s efforts had anchored on the claim the congressional maps were at stake because a liberal court would redraw the current maps in favor of Democrats.

“What’s at issue here is control of the US House of Representatives,” Musk wrote on X. “The Wisconsin Supreme Court race might decide the future of American and Western Civilization!”

Musk campaigned in Green Bay, sporting a cheesehead hat and handing out million-dollar checks, which are being questioned by another lawsuit alleging that he bribed voters.

He personally gave $3 million to conservative Brad Schimel’s campaign, while the super PAC he funds, America PAC, spent around $18 million on ads, canvassing, mailers and field operations.

On the other hand, liberal-backed Susan Crawford raised more than $24 million for her campaign, including from billionaire donors George Soros and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

In the end, $100 million was spent overall on the race, making it the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history.

Although the court proved Musk wrong, Wisconsin conservative groups applauded that the maps wouldn’t be redrawn in time for the midterm elections.

“Today’s decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court reinforces the legitimacy of our state’s congressional maps and pushes back against radical, out-of-state leftists trying to meddle in Wisconsin,” Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty Counsel Lucas Vebber said in a statement. “This repeated rejection by the Court, including just last year, speaks volumes about the lack of merit in these challenges.”

Elias Law Group and Campaign Legal Center did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment at the time of publication.
