Wisconsin’s powerful Republican Assembly leader said Tuesday that he hopes the liberal-controlled state Supreme Court adopts new constitutional legislative boundary maps, even as he slammed proposals from Democrats as “a political gerrymander” and threatened an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court tossed Republican-drawn maps, long considered among the country’s most favorable to the GOP, and ordered new maps that do not favor one party over another. It said if the Legislature doesn’t adopt maps, the court will.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Republicans have approached Democrats about passing new maps in the Legislature, but “we have not gotten a warm reception to that idea.”

You can have an independent commission drawing the maps, and people have even developed algorithms that can do it in software so there’s no human involved.
Computer programs exist that can draw legitimate districts. Lawsuits can challenge districts, and if found to be based on race or political affiliation they can be removed. Bad faith actors will forever be a problem though.
