A lawsuit filed Wednesday asks Wisconsin’s newly liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to throw out Republican-drawn legislative maps as unconstitutional, the latest legal challenge of many nationwide that could upset political boundary lines before the 2024 election.

I have always wondered what gerrymandering would look like if every district would elect the top two vote getters. Yes, you could make the maps so that one district had 67% Republicans and tell people to evenly vote, but if they didn't exactly split the dems would get a seat. Push the district up to 75%-80% Republicans to guarantee both seats. At that point, only 20-25% of the voters are not getting represented, unlike the 40-45% under the current system.

Just have no idea how you would change the law to do that.
