My general thoughts on Wisconsin redistricting:

1. Milwaukee County should only be split once (as it necessarily must due to having a population greater than 750k). Being split among four districts like it is currently, is ridiculous.

2. I like the general setup Wisconsin has had since at least the 70s of a Milwaukee seat (formerly two),  Janesville-Racine district, Madison district, Driftless district, Northwest district, Green Bay District, WOW district, and a Mid-Wisconsin District.

3. If Wisconsin loses a seat due to the census, I'm guessing the one cut would be the 5th (Driftless) or the 7th (Northwest) since they are the most rural and easily divvied among the rest.

This is the most recent prediction I found, and it has Wisconsin staying at 8.
