INTRODUCTION Partisan gerrymandering undermines democracy by diluting the votes of people who vote for candidates of the party that is not in power. It thereby creates legislative districts that enable a party to govern even though it receives only a minority of votes across the state. For exam- ple, in Gill v. Whitford, the Wisconsin case that in 2018 the Supreme Court remanded on the ground that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue,1 the gerrymander was so extreme that it allowed Republicans to control the state legislature with only 48% of the statewide vote while * Lynn Adelman is a United States District Court judge in the Eastern Dis- trict of Wisconsin.

The State of Judicial Selection in Wisconsin
BAR ASSOC I AT I O N | R E M AR K S The State of Judicial Selection in Wisconsin With last year’s electoral defeat of a sitting member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court—a result that had not been seen in the state for more than 40 years—there has been renewed discussion of the best means of judicial selection. The Honorable Diane S. Sykes, L’84, Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, contributed to the conversation with a speech at the Eastern District of Wisconsin Bar Association’s 2008 annual meeting at the Milwaukee Athletic Club. We reprint here Judge Sykes’s remarks, which also will appear in the Marquette Law Review. Remarks of the Honorable Diane S. Sykes, L’84 y thanks to the Eastern District Bar Association for Mthe invitation to address your annual meeting, and congratulations to Chief Judge Rudy Randa, U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic, Nathan Fishbach, Dave Erne, and Robert Pledl for well-deserved achievement and service awards. I had prepared a speech on the semi-interesting subject of circuit precedent—more specifically, on the rules and internal operating procedures that our court uses to help us maintain the consistency of our circuit case law. But I have been rethinking my choice of topics in the aftermath of the April 1 election, and when I read the cover story in the opinion section of this past Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,1 I decided to shelve that speech and take advantage of a captive audience of lawyers to say a few words about the state of judicial selection in Wisconsin.
