Liberal Milwaukee Judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated former Justice Daniel Kelly on Tuesday night in a record-shattering election for a coveted seat on Wisconsin's Supreme Court. Her win wrangles control from conservatives who have been in power for 15 years and makes her the deciding vote on abortion rights, political maps, and perhaps even the 2024 presidential race.
"If Republicans keep their hammerlock on the state Supreme Court majority, Wisconsin remains stuck in an undemocratic doom loop," Ben Wikler, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, said ahead of the election."I will tell you this," he said during a get-out-the-vote stop in Waukesha."This is the most important election in this country in 2023.
Kelly repeatedly questioned whether Protasiewicz can remain partial on the hot-button topics. However, he has also been clear on his views on the state's future. He's also raised some eyebrows over controversial blog posts on same-sex marriage. He also argued government programs like Medicare and Social Security were an attempt to steal from taxpayers and akin to slavery. Kelly and his allies also hit Protasiewicz hard for being soft on crime.
