Summary
adopting legislative districts after legislative impasse with substantially larger population deviations than those proposed here
Summary of this case from Johnson v. Wis. Elections Comm'nOpinion
May 14, 1964.
This court by its decision of February 28, 1964, having held invalid the heretofore existing legislative apportionment as set forth in secs. 4.01 and 4.02, Stats.; and the legislature and governor having failed to enact any legislative apportionment subsequent to such decision;
State ex rel. Reynolds v. Zimmerman (1964), 22 Wis.2d 544, 126 N.W.2d 551.
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to this court's decision of February 28, 1964, IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the following legislative apportionment be effective for the 1964 legislative elections, and thereafter until such time as the legislature and governor have enacted a valid legislative apportionment plan.
SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES.
(1) In order to minimize the differences of population between the 100 assembly districts of the state, and between the 33 senate districts of the state, legislative districts are established in accordance with the final published results of the 1960 federal census of Wisconsin and with due regard to the requirements of the constitution of this state.
(2) For the assembly, the Wisconsin constitution requires districts of substantial population equality.
(a) County lines are held inviolable. Assembly districts consist of either a whole county, several whole counties or several assembly districts placed wholly within a single county.
(b) The territory of each assembly district is kept as compact as practicable. The court considered alternative plans in several areas which might have more closely approached population equality in assembly districts. In these instances, a majority of the court concluded that the requirement of compactness compelled adoption of the alternatives embodied in the present judgment. In some instances, it has been possible to compensate an imbalance in assembly districting by adjustment of senate representation.
(c) The method of equal proportions has been used to determine the number of assembly seats allocated to multi-assembly district counties.
(d) For no assembly district does the 1960 population exceed by more than one-third the state-wide average population of assembly districts: 39,528.
(3) For the senate, the Wisconsin constitution requires districts of substantial population equality consisting of whole assembly districts.
(a) Assembly district lines are held inviolable. Senate districts consist of whole assembly districts, though not in all cases of whole counties.
(b) The territory of individual senate districts consists of contiguous assembly districts, convenient to the electors the district.
(e) For no senate district does the 1960 population exceed by more than one-sixth the state-wide average population of senate districts: 119,780.
SECTION 2. APPORTIONMENT OF ASSEMBLY. Thirty-nine counties of low population are combined into 17 multicounty assembly districts, each with a population near the state-wide average for assembly districts.

There is appended hereto as an appendix an analysis of the apportionment made by this judgment which has been prepared by the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau.
Appendix Legislative Apportionment Established by the Wisconsin Supreme Court 1960 POPULATIONS OF SENATE AND ASSEMBLY DISTRICTS, BY SENATE DISTRICT
Apportionment: Assembly districts were allocated according to the method of "Equal Proportions". Four assembly districts are reapportioned among counties, making Douglas a single-district county, and taking one Assembly district each out of northeastern, northwestern and southwestern Wisconsin. Two new Assembly districts are allocated to Waukesha County (giving it a total of 4 districts) and one new district is allocated to both Milwaukee County (25) and Outagamie County (3).
Assembly districting: Assembly districts lines in most multi-Assembly district counties have been revised to minimize population differences among districts. No Assembly district exceeds the state average by more than one-third and the 51 smallest Assembly districts contain 45.4 per cent of the state's population.
Senate districts: The 14th, 24th and 31st Senate Districts each consist of 4 Assembly districts of low population; the 21st and 22nd Senate Districts each consist of 2 Assembly districts of high population; all other Senate districts contain 3 Assembly districts each. No Senate district deviates by more than one-sixth from the state average for Assembly districts and 48.4 per cent of the state's population live in a bare majority of the Senate districts.

The following memorandum was filed May 25, 1964:
By the judgment of May 14, 1964, which adopted a plan of legislative apportionment, the parties to the action were granted until May 20, 1964, in which to file objections or motions relating to such apportionment. None of the parties filed any objections or motions within the specified time, but four requests for changes were filed by others. After careful consideration of these four requests, the court denies the same.
