Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Sees Over 2 Million Voters

In Wisconsin's state Supreme Court election, turnout is expected to exceed two million voters, with early voting showing a 57% increase over the previous year. Candidates Judge Susan Crawford and Judge Brad Schimel are vying for the seat, with Crawford needing strong support from Democratic strongholds, while Schimel benefits from endorsements by Donald Trump and Elon Musk, both of whom have invested heavily in the race. Early voting data indicates that both Democratic and Republican voters are embracing the process, with significant increases observed across multiple counties. Election officials are preparing for a lengthy vote count, particularly in Milwaukee, where a substantial number of early ballots remain to be processed. The race has drawn national attention and financial contributions, making it one of the most expensive judicial elections in U.S. history. Voter sentiment around Musk’s involvement appears mixed, with some residents expressing discomfort at his influence in local politics.
