Former President Donald Trump might not be directly involved in Tuesday's election, but his presence is still being felt.
's 2020 victory over Trump in the Badger State, Trump and his followers have helped make this year's race between Democrat-backed Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal Milwaukee County judge, and Republican-supported Daniel Kelly, a conservative former state Supreme Court justice, one of the most expensive statewide elections in U.S. history, with potentially significant implications for the state and the country.

After a single-vote majority on the court upheld President Joe Biden's 2020 victory over Trump in the Badger State, Trump and his followers have helped make this year's race between Democrat-backed Janet Protasiewicz, a liberal Milwaukee County judge, and Republican-supported Daniel Kelly, a conservative former state Supreme Court justice, one of the most expensive statewide elections in U.S. history.
Earlier this year, an attorney who worked to disqualify 221,000 voters in the state on Trump's behalf during the 2020 election—Jim Troupis—was reappointed by a 4-3 vote to a second term on a committee that advises judges on judicial conduct, even as he faces a multimillion-dollar lawsuit for allegedly spreading misinformation about the election, a vote some saw as a precursor to how the court could rule on a future challenge to the state's election results.
