Back, let's go back to March of 2018. That's kind of a good moment to zero in on. At that moment, Republicans had a 5:2 majority on our state Supreme Court. They Republicans had near total control of the state legislature [in March 2018]. and fair maps were nowhere in sight. They had the governorship, the attorney general's office, the state treasurer, which they still have, unfortunately. Ron Johnson was our senator. (20:37–20:49)
