For those who keep a close eye on elections, the 2022 midterms were clearly monumental. Chances are, next year’s election cycle is likely to be pretty interesting, too.
With just about all of the votes tallied, the race wasn’t especially close: Protasiewicz appears to have wonFor the right, the results are a disaster. Though technically the election was non-partisan, Republicans rallied behind former state Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly, perhaps best known to national audiences as the lawyer who advised the Wisconsin GOP on the fake electors scheme after the 2020 elections.
As for why the Wisconsin race generated so much attention, Protasiewicz’s striking victory gives the left a majority on the state Supreme Court, which is very likely to have dramatic policy implications in the Badger State.
