Case Summary

On July 8, 2015, 12 registered Democratic voters in Wisconsin filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The plaintiffs sued the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1988, claiming violations of their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Represented by the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and by private counsel, the plaintiffs sought a declaration that the districting plan created by Wisconsin Act 43 was unconstitutional, an injunction prohibiting state and local elections officials from using the districting plan in any election. They requested that if the Legislature and Governor did not pass a constitutional districting plan in a timely manner, that the court create a plan that would meet the requirements of the United States and Wisconsin Constitutions. The case was assigned to Judge Barbara B. Crabb. Because 28 U.S.C. § 2284 requires that federal court challenges to state legislative apportionment be heard before a three-judge panel, Judge Crabb was joined by Judge Kenneth F. Ripple of the Seventh Circuit, and Judge William Griesbach of the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

The plaintiffs alleged that the 2012 districting plan, created by Wisconsin Act 43, created partisan gerrymandered districts for the purpose of helping the Republican Party win a majority of seats in the State Assembly. Although Republican candidates received less than 49% of votes in the next election, they won nearly 61% of seats in the Legislature. The plaintiffs further alleged that the Republican leadership in the Legislature had created the districting plan in complete secrecy: they created the plan away from the State Capital, they allowed only Republican legislators to participate in the process, and they required all legislators who participated to sign secrecy agreements. Until the plan was presented to the entire Legislature and quickly passed into law, the only members of the Legislature who were aware of its contents were Republican legislators and the private counsel who had been contracted (paid by State funds) to create the plan.

On July 8, 2015, the plaintiffs sought an order enjoining the implementation of the gerrymandered districts for the 2016 election. The defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint was denied by the three-judge panel on December 17, 2015. The panel found that although the plaintiffs faced “significant challenges in prevailing on their claims,” the complaint was nonetheless sufficient to state a claim and that under the Supreme Court’s precedent in Davis v. Bandemer, the claim was justiciable. 151 F.Supp.3d 918.

The defendants later filed a motion for summary judgment, which the panel denied on April 7, 2016, because there were “factual disputes regarding the validity of plaintiffs’ proposed measurement for determining the existence of constitutional violation.” 180 F.Supp.3d 583.

On November 21, 2016, in a 116-page 2-1 decision, the panel held that Wisconsin Act 43 was unconstitutional. It found that Act 43 was passed with an intent to dilute the electoral strength of Democractic voters, and that it had achieved its intended discriminatory effect, unexplained by any geographical or other rational consideration. Under the plan, it would be difficult for Democratic voters “to translate their votes into legislative seats”; the plan ensured a Republican majority in the Assembly (the lower house of the Wisconsin Legislature). Judge Griesbach dissented, disagreeing that proof of intent to act for a political purpose was a significant part of any gerrymandering test; similarly, he disagreed that the plaintiffs’ proposed “efficiency gap” concept was a judicially manageable standard. 218 F.Supp.3d 837.

In its November 2016 ruling, the court deferred ruling on an appropriate remedy and asked parties to brief the issue. After the parties submitted their briefs, the court ordered the following remedial plan on January 27, 2017: the court ordered the Legislature to enact a new redistricting map that the Governor would be charged with approving by November 1, 2017. It found that contrary to the plaintiffs’ request, it was unnecessary for the court to involve itself in creating a districting map. Further, in anticipation of the defendants’ appeal to the Supreme Court, the court found that the proposed remedy afforded “the Legislature ample time to enact a plan contingent on the Supreme Court’s affirmance of our judgment. While it allows the defendants and the candidates to make plans for the November 2018 election only on a contingent basis, at least they will be able to prepare for that contingency in the context of a concrete alternate map.” The court entered judgment in favor of the plaintiffs that day and ordered the case dismissed.

On February 22, 2017, the court amended its judgment to retain jurisdiction as to the remedial plan, so that it could grant an adequate remedy in the event of legislative impasse. On February 24, 2017 the defendants appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

At issue before the Supreme Court was:

Whether the district court had the authority to consider a statewide challenge to Wisconsin’s redistricting plan rather than requiring a district-by-district analysis;
whether Wisconsin’s redistricting plan was impermissible partisan gerrymandering despite complying with standard redistricting principles;
whether the district court’s partisan gerrymandering test was proper;
whether the defendants could present additional evidence showing that they would have prevailed under the district court’s test after the court announced the test; and
whether partisan gerrymandering claims were justiciable.

On June 19, the Supreme Court stayed the judgment of the district court, pending appeal. After the parties and numerous parties submitted amicus briefs, the Court heard oral arguments on October 3, 2017. On June 18, 2018, the Court vacated the district court’s ruling and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings. 138 S.Ct. 1916. The Court found that the plaintiffs’ allegations that the redistricting plan caused them to suffer statewide harm to their interests in their collective representation in the state legislature and in influencing the legislature’s overall composition and policymaking did not support Article III standing. Further, the Court found that evidence of an efficiency gap did not address the effect that a gerrymander had on the votes of particular citizens (which is also required for Article III standing). The Court remanded to the district court to allow the plaintiffs to present evidence of a “burden on their individual votes.”

Judge Crabb withdrew without explanation on August 2, 2018, and was replaced by Judge James D. Peterson. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on Sept. 14, 2018. On October 4, 2018 the Wisconsin State Assembly filed a motion to intervene as defendants; the motion was granted on November 13, 2018.

Shortly after, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to stay the case because of two ongoing partisan gerrymandering cases, Rucho v. Common Cause and Lamone v. Benisek in the Supreme Court. The motion to dismiss was denied without prejudice, but the stay was granted on January 23, 2019. The court allowed discovery to proceed, but it delayed trial and any decision on the merits until after the Supreme Court reached a decision in the two other cases.

On May 3, 2019, the district court granted a motion to compel discovery, ordering the Wisconsin State Assembly Speaker to attend a scheduled deposition. 331 F.R.D. 375. The Speaker appealed to the Seventh Circuit, which stayed the district court’s order pending resolution of the appeal.

The Court decided Lamone and Rucho on June 27, 2019, holding that legislative redistricting is a political question that is not justiciable in federal courts. This ruling made it clear that the district court in this case did not have jurisdiction to hear the Wisconsin voters’ claims; the plaintiffs therefore moved to dismiss their claims the following day, on June 28. The court dismissed the case without prejudice on July 2, 2019, awarding statutory costs to the defendants.

However, the court reversed the award of costs on August 22, also denying the defendants’ motion for attorneys’ fees. 402 F. Supp. 3d 529. Because the case was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and it clearly had not been a frivolous lawsuit (the court had originally ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, and the Supreme Court had allowed the litigation to proceed before later foreclosing the district court’s subject-matter jurisdiction), the court found that it would be most just for each party to bear its own costs.

The case is closed.
