Wisconsin is already blue. Redistricting was removed from a panel of (nominally) nonpartisan former judges and given to the legislature. The subsequent maps drawn by the legislature were the most effectively gerrymandered maps in the country (at the time) and set a strategic precedent for partisan gerrymandering across the country. Edit: for context, this redistricting happened in 2011 Edit 2: I will happily walk back my first sentence to “purple”; however, the impact of partisan redistricting has been made repeatedly clear as Republicans in the state legislature significantly over perform in capturing seats vs statewide voter count. I will also add that I believe the problem here is partisan gerrymandering, not specifically that Republicans over-perform. Partisan gerrymandering is explicitly anti-democratic whether it is taking place in Wisconsin or New York.
