The geography for Democrats in Wisconsin is just brutal! I guess Democrats in WI are more self-packed than I thought because most fair maps simply wouldn't make WI-03 more D-leaning.

It’s ridiculous how blue Dane county is
Is there any official convention against splitting Dane in redistricting? Evers has veto power on the legislature and it'd certainly keep the map at 4D/4R (if not 3D/5R in an R wave).

Since the legislature and Evers likely won't be able to agree on a map, it'll go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which currently has a 4R-3D majority, but Justice Hagedorn is known for being fair and non-partisan in regards to election-related cases as he was in regards to all the election litigation from the Trump campaign before and after the year. However while it's unlikely he'd approve a blatant Republican gerrymander, he obviously wouldn't approve a split Dane Democratic one either, and a fair map would probably still end up 6R-2D alas outside of really nasty waves. I actually drew such a map in DRA and it was not only 6 Trump to 2 Biden seats, it was even 6 Walker to 2 Evers seats, even though Evers did much better in rural Wisconsin (Walker did get under 50% in the new WI-1 which removed the Waukesha portion and the successor WI-3, but that still makes the seats at best Lean R in all but the most nasty waves.)
