“Voters head to the polls on Tuesday to choose which two jurists will compete to join the Wisconsin Supreme Court — a race unmatched in its consequence to policy in this battleground state, where conservatives and liberals are expected to raise and spend levels of cash not seen before in a judicial race,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
“Conservatives are defending their 4-3 majority on the court as Wisconsin Democrats seek to flip control of the court to liberal justices for the first time in more than a decade. The race comes in a year when the issue of abortion is top of mind after a dormant 19th century law banning the practice in nearly every situation has resurfaced following last year’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.”
