Understandably, for people outside of Wisconsin is isn't as big of a deal. It will mean two less seats in the House of Representatives due to the upcoming leftist gerrymandering here. It also means easier election fraud shenanigans.
I guess I don't get your drift. Isn't congressional districts done by the state legislature of which there is a solid red majority? Courts don't draw lines do they?
Ah, your question was “how much did George Soros give,” and I told you, two million
As soon as one party gerrymanders, the other side will take it to court. The SCOTUS said last time they are not going to get involved in State gerrymander cases, ergo, it helps having a majority on the State Court.
Musk money
Soros money
....annnnnnnd more mindless chanting.Musk money could not win this election this time?!!
CNN —
Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford will win Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, CNN projects, maintaining the liberal majority on the court in a key battleground state less than three months into President Donald Trump’s second term.
Crawford, a liberal circuit court judge in Dane County, will beat the conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge who received Trump’s backing in the final stretch of the campaign. The race was officially nonpartisan, but Crawford’s victory will be seen as a bright spot for Democrats in Wisconsin and nationwide as voters handed the president’s preferred candidate a defeat in the first major political test of the second Trump era.
Crawford and her Democratic allies also worked to turn the election into a referendum on Trump ally Elon Musk, who poured millions of his personal fortune into the race. It quickly became the most expensive judicial contest in US history.
Musk and groups affiliated with him spent more than $19 million in the state, including funding field operations and television advertisements. Crawford tied the tech billionaire directly to Schimel in her appearances, at times referencing Musk at “my opponent.” Democratic groups ran television ads linking the Tesla CEO to Schimel.
In all, the candidates and outside groups spent more than $90 million — shattering spending records set just two years ago, when a liberal judge captured an open seat and flipped control of the court.
Schimel and Republicans had hoped to draw on the network of voters who supported Trump in November’s presidential election, when he narrowly won the battleground state. Schimel hugged Trump closely throughout the campaign and even appeared in a live chat with Musk on his social media site X.
But Democrats bet that seizing on that alignment would pay off with voters at a time when the two men have undertaken a controversial reshaping of the federal government. Issues such as abortion rights and the redistricting of congressional maps also emerged as flashpoints in the campaign.
Crawford, who has represented Planned Parenthood as a private attorney, backs abortion rights.
In a state with divided government — Gov. Tony Evers is a Democrat, and Republicans control the state legislature — the Supreme Court has become the final arbiter on policies that affect Wisconsites’ lives, including whether a 19th-century law that banned most abortions could be enforced today.
And in a state that helps determine who wins the presidency, the high court would have the final word in resolving election disputes.
Since the liberals won a 4-3 majority two years ago, the court has delivered major victories to Democrats — reversing a 2022 high court ruling that had imposed a near-total ban on ballot drop boxes and striking down state legislative maps drawn by Republicans.
The court could revisit congressional maps that have helped the GOP hold a lopsided advantage of six out of eight US House seats, despite the paper-thin margins of victory for Republicans and Democrats in statewide races.
Crawford will serve a 10-year term.

There is no 'alt right', Wally. Trump isn't losing.
It has many of the same problems as the SDTC, but is not a dictatorship yet.
Didn't watch it. Didn't bother.
No, a negative one, since Democrats want to use the State court to institutionalize Democrat election fraud.
Feel sorry for ya pal. I know you had better hopes than this.
You forget. Democrats use illegal means and lawfare to get their way.
No 'whataboutism' at all, anchovies. Buzzword fallacy. His post is absolutely correct.
No court has any authority to draw legislative district lines.
SCOTUS has no such authority either.
Irrelevant appeal to authority. Did that information not exist before this age? What makes it exist now? The label is wrong.
Very understandable questions (since you don't live here). Let me just start by saying that Wisconsin is rather weird when it comes to redistricting.
Hahahahha, 25 million+ by Musk, all to flop on his faceMusk money could not win this election this time?!!

DON'T BLACK-PILL OVER THIS FOLKS:1. This was a liberal replacing a liberal.
2. The 4-3 liberal court is still 4-3 as it has been for 2 years.
3. Trump gets people to turn out no one else can.
4. Schimel ain't Trump.
5. Voter ID won BIG which is huge.
6. 2026 is forever away in political time.
Many things will positively affect the midterms between now and then that will be MUCH more important than this.

IF so then his money is worth a lot more than Elon given he spent 1/10 of what Elon did and got a double digit win for his choice over Elon's
Wrong, as I documented, Soros’s contribution was a fraction of Musk’s, it was an attempted whataboutism, an uninformed attempt
