Wisconsin GOP’s hopes of a supermajority in the state legislature are fading due to Trump trailing in the state.  This is particularly true in the Assembly, where the battlegrounds are mainly in the Milwaukee suburbs.  Democrats could still take a net loss in the Senate, which features more rural battlegrounds further north.

Yes, Evers can veto maps by the Legislature.

is there going to be a more fair map assuming the GOP doesn't get super majorities

A bill has been introduced to implement ranked choice voting for federal congressional elections in WI.  It has bipartisan support, though it’s mostly republicans that are opposed.  It would create a top-5 jungle primary.
