Summary
Judge Susan Crawford won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating conservative Brad Schimel despite his backing from Elon Musk and former President Trump.
Her victory preserves the court’s 4-3 liberal majority.
The race, expected to be the most expensive state supreme court election ever, saw spending top $100 million.
Issues before the court include abortion rights, labor laws, and potential redistricting that could affect GOP control of the U.S. House. Crawford, backed by Democrats and reproductive rights groups, will begin her 10-year term on August 1.
I assume now they’ll work on helping the remaining liberal justices quit to avoid whatever bizarre targeted punishment EO is soon to be coming their way. It worked for the lawyers.
