Dane County voters will have a chance April 1 to take a stand against the corrupt way in which Wisconsin legislators draw congressional and legislative district lines for elections.

The advisory referendum gives voters a chance to endorse nonpartisan redistricting done by an independent agency — as opposed to partisan and self-serving legislators.

This is the approach The Capital Times began advocating years ago, when Democrats were in charge of the Legislature. And it is the approach that most Wisconsin newspapers and clean government groups have embraced since the current legislative lines were gerrymandered by Republicans in 2011.

Vote "yes" — urgently and enthusiastically.
