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.

      But that would raise entitled communist brats, who think that grown ups will just feed them for free… Like… Who do you think is going to work at McDonald’s or in mines after they deport all immigrants?!? Kids need to stay hungry to be more motivated to work /S

      I would wager that a fiduciary would be capable of setting up a trust with $100,000,000 that would be capable of paying for school lunches, books, and teaching supplies, in perpetuity. Wisconsin doesn’t have too large of a population.
