Wisconsin voters will cast their ballots on Tuesday for the State Supreme Court, marking the end of the most costly judicial race in state history. The outcome will impact important issues such as congressional maps, abortion, and voter laws.
• The election features conservative Brad Schimel against liberal Judge Susan Crawford. Schimel claims the court has become too liberal and positions himself as the defender against activist judges.
• Schimel argues that Crawford, who was supported by liberal donors, aims to reshape the court to advance a political agenda and potentially alter congressional seats from Republican to Democrat.
• Democrats believe that a Crawford victory would allow the Supreme Court to mandate redrawing Wisconsin’s congressional maps to favor their party.
• Significant campaign contributions have flooded the race, including support from major donors like George Soros and Elon Musk, who is backing Schimel and encouraging Wisconsin voters to do the same. He has been actively promoting his candidate and has also provided financial incentives for petition signers against activist judges.
• Crawford has criticized Musk's involvement, asserting that Schimel would merely support Trump’s agenda while defending her past judicial decisions, including those involving sex offender sentencing.
• Early voting has exceeded 500,000, and turnout on Election Day will be crucial for Schimel to secure a victory, especially since the previous election saw significant losses for Republican candidates.
• Donald Trump has endorsed Schimel, emphasizing the national significance of the election.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election represents a pivotal moment with far-reaching implications, reflecting deeper national political battles. Voters are encouraged to participate and consider how their choice may shape the court's future and various societal issues.
