Susan Crawford's win for the Wisconsin supreme court seat marks a significant victory for Democrats amid campaign funding controversies. Crawford defeated former Republican AG Brad Schimel in a race heavily funded by Elon Musk-related interests, culminating in an expensive judicial race. Her victory speech emphasized that justice should remain impartial and not for sale. This outcome preserves the liberals' 4-3 majority on the court, which is crucial for upcoming decisions on key issues such as abortion rights and redistricting that favor Republicans. Milwaukee experienced unprecedented voter turnout, highlighting the election's significance.
Today Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, Crawford said in her victory night speech. Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price.
Schimel said he and his team didn't leave anything on the field and conceded the race. No, you gotta accept the results, he said, adding: The numbers aren't gonna turn around.
