Republicans have ruled Wisconsin for a decade – but a court decision could change that

Republicans' legislative majorities are virtually impenetrable thanks to district lines - but that could change if the current maps are overturned

Lynn Carey, a retired nurse with a double lung transplant, has spent years trying to get Wisconsin lawmakers to improve healthcare. Carey organized voters in support of the Affordable Care Act back in 2009. Since its passage, she has pushed to get her Republican representatives in the state legislature to expand Medicaid coverage to its poorest residents.

The idea has been overwhelmingly popular in Wisconsin: a 2019 poll showed 70% of voters in the state supported it. But Medicaid expansion hasn't gone anywhere - even after Democrats won back Wisconsin's governorship in 2018.
