State Supreme Court races are normally as interesting as planning commission meetings, but somehow, this race in Wisconsin is being hyped as the harbinger of doom for the Republic.
I don't get it. Democrats, after their ignominious defeat in November, are searching for their muse, their path from the wilderness, and Republicans are having a good time watching them try. But, this race has garnered a bunch of attention and a whole lot of money. It seems that this race, like all races, will be based on turnout and whoever gets more voters to the poll will win. That is all political races.
I would think that there are far more important races, like the congressional special elections in Florida. Those might flip the House to the Democrats, or make it harder to sustain a majority later. Maybe I'm not looking at it in the right vein, but a SUpreme COurt seat in Wisconsin? I really don't get it.

The Democrats know that they depend on sketchy election shenanigans. Having a Dem-friendly WI supreme court is necessary to make sure these shenanigans work. Having a hostile court means that they won't be able to make the shenanigans work, which may cost them WI in the midterms and in 2028.
Meanwhile in Louisiana…
