Radical Left Takes Control of Wisconsin Supreme Court For First Time in 15 Years

Earlier this week, I informed Geller Report readers that  George Soros pushed $1 million to Wisconsin Democrats ahead of pivotal state Supreme Court election

Well, he won.

The Republican party is going the way of the Whig party. Soon to be obsolete.

Wisconsin now has a Supreme Court that is going to strike down voter ID and bring back ballot harvesting before 2024. It was the most important election of the year and conservatives allowed themselves to get heavily outspent and didn't even notice until it was too late.

The right lost today. Bigly.

Liberals gain control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the first time in 15 years

Janet Protasiewicz’s over conservative Dan Kelly will allow the court’s new liberal majority to determine the future of key issues like abortion rights.

By: NBC News, April 5, 2023:

Janet Protasiewicz, a judge on the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, has won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, NBC News projects, giving liberals their first majority on the state’s highest court in 15 years.

rvative Dan Kelly, a former state Supreme Court justice, on Tuesday in what became the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history and one of the most closely watched elections of 2023.

Protasiewicz’s victory will allow the court’s new liberal majority to determine the future of several pivotal issues the bench is likely to decide in the coming years, including abortion rights, the state’s gerrymandered legislative maps and election administration — including, possibly, the outcome of the 2024 presidential race in the battleground state.

With 85% of the expected vote counted, Protasiewicz had the support of 55% percent of voters, while Kelly had 45% percent.

Conservative-leaning justices hold a 4-3 majority on the court. Protasiewicz will fill the seat being vacated by retiring conservative Justice Patience Roggensack, giving liberals the majority for the first time since 2008. Protasiewicz was elected to a 10-year term.

Throughout her campaign, Protasiewicz made it clear that her positions on many issues — most prominently abortions rights — aligned with those of the Democratic Party. She was endorsed by the Democratic abortion rights group Emily’s List, Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder and several other prominent Democrats.

Democrats in the state, and nationally, described the race as the most important one in the country this year, and they focused their messaging on emphasizing abortion rights and fair elections — extending a strategy the national party used last year to fend off a red wave in the House and keep the Senate. The win by Protasiewicz suggests that the strategy continues to pay off for the party — a data point national Democrats will be all but certain to rely on heading into next year’s presidential election.

State Democrats and abortion rights groups lauded her win in the moments after NBC News called the race for her. Ben Wikler, the chair of the state Democratic Party, tweeted that the race was “a release valve for twelve years of Democratic rage in Wisconsin about Republicans rigging our state and smashing our democracy.” Laphonza Butler, the president of Emily’s List, a group that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, said in a statement to NBC News that Protasiewicz’s win “will change the lives of Wisconsinites for years to come and give the state the opportunity to become a beacon of reproductive health care access.”
