The Significance of Elections in Wisconsin and Beyond.

The race to elect a judge in Wisconsin has become the most expensive court race in US history, with nearly $42.3m spent on campaign financing. The winner of the race could tip the scales on key issues such as access to abortion and voting rights in the state, and could also be called to decide on any challenges to the 2024 US presidential election results. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is currently equally split between three liberal and three conservative candidates, and the side that wins a majority will have more power than the governor, assembly, or senate.
