The Politicized Future of Wisconsin's Supreme Court: Consequences and Controversies.
TL;DR
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election has become a highly politicized contest, with over $30 million spent on the campaign. The race will determine the future of abortion rights in Wisconsin and the state's political direction. The contest is officially nonpartisan but is awash in partisanship, offering a preview of what might be to come in other states where high court justices are elected. The election could lead to a sea change in how State Supreme Court races are contested, injecting never-before-seen amounts of money, politicization, and voter interest.
