"The High Stakes of Wisconsin's Supreme Court Election"

Wisconsin's high court race, the most expensive in US history, could weaken conservatives' long-held advantage in the state. Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz and former state Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly are vying for one seat, with Protasiewicz potentially tilting the court's majority in liberals' favor. The race is technically non-partisan, but party support is clear. Spending has topped an estimated $45 million, mostly from out-of-state sources. The outcome of the election could change abortion rights in the state and lead to legal challenges to the state's current legislative and congressional district maps.
