In reply to the discussion: Susan Crawford wins Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin [View all]Wiz Imp
(4,894 posts)40. It keeps a liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court
Republicans did a ton of damage to Wisconsin when they held the trifecta there for years. Since Democrats took over the Supreme court and Governorship, the state has been much better.
Importantly, it keeps liberals in charge of the Supreme Court for the next round of re-districting making it much more difficult for Republicans to continue their outrageous gerrymandering. Without the gerrymandering, there's a very good chance Democrats can take back control of the legislature.
Also importantly, Elon Musk attempted to buy this election for the Republicans. The fact that he failed shows he can't just use his money to buy everything in government he wants.
