The former Wisconsin governor seeks to counter former Attorney General Eric Holder as he joins the National Republican Redistricting Trust.

The National Republican Redistricting Trust, the GOP’s data and legal hub preparing for redistricting after the next census, has brought on former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker as the group’s national finance chairman.

Walker said next month’s Supreme Court race in his home state is an example of Democrats’ unrelenting focus on setting up redistricting in 2021 and beyond. The state Supreme Court could play a major role in drawing future political maps in Wisconsin, if it has to navigate a split between the GOP-controlled Legislature and the Democratic governor in 2021.

That is Walker’s brief at the NRRT. The GOP redistricting trust launched in 2017 with plans to raise $35 million to gather and warehouse key data for redistricting and fight court battles over political maps, and Walker is now charged with raising the money to power those efforts.

Koch Brothers’ funnel.

I’d prefer a trump take it over. Grifting it into bankruptcy would be a the best way to stop them.

Well he does know how to get gerrymandering correct. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Hey whatever happened to the last few guys who had this job?

It's just one big criminal organization. Nothing but thieves, racists and rapists.

The liberal and independent population continues to grow while the GOP continues to shrink. The GOP's going to need to make every effort to rig elections in order to control the majority with their oppressive agenda of increased personal regulation of your life(less freedom).

Why would anyone trust Republican redistricting?

Complete failure is at their door step.

I guess that is a non union job!

Walker destroyed Wisconsin, and is a laughingstock in the state. No surprise the GOP hired him to run a national platform. The GOP has run through a LOT of felons in looking for just the right guy. Six months until Walker is outed as someone who stole money from state coffers

It’s like having the fox guard the hen house any reporter please ask: 1.) Do you believe in independent non-partisan gerrymandering? 2.) If he answers “NO” follow up: isn’t it contrary to the republican values of free and fair competition of ideas to win elections?

It takes a crook to run the crook shop.

They just go from strength to strength, don’t they? Always “the best people.” Don’t they have a job for Santorum somewhere?

The Republicans never stop,it always has to be their way. Walker is a crook.

The only job he could get, most likely. That $50K Sears bill isn’t going to pay itself.

Maybe he can make a great deal with China to finance the GOP. He's a genius on making those.

Classic good vs. evil. All the marbles on the line. Who will win? The old white men with all the money? Or the whole rest of the human race?

Walker delivered Wisconsin for Trump and thereby the election For that he will always be a hero
