Vote in 2022 for State Assembly ended up with 35D/64R, with D’s getting 44.6% of the overall vote. The Evers maps that are now adopted would have made it 46D/53R. So D’s would get 46.5% of the seats for 44.6% of the vote. It’s a slight D over performance, but no maps are going to be perfectly representative, and this is way closer to what it should be.
I think that it is more informative to look at statewide elections instead of assembly. Gerrymandering depressed turnout and in some heavily gerrymandered districts Republicans were running unnopossed. Looking at statewide elections instead with the new maps democrats will get 46% of seats with roughly 50% of the vote.
It’s way closer to right. See: https://law.marquette.edu/facultyblog/2024/01/analysis-of-proposed-legislative-redistricting-plans-submitted-to-the-wisconsin-supreme-court/
