In the end, Wisconsin’s most-watched and most-expensive Supreme Court race ever wasn’t even close.
Liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz easily won a term on the court, beating former Justice Dan Kelly by almost 11 points. Protasiewicz got just over a million votes, while Kelly got just over 800 thousand. The race set records for spending, with a 45 million-dollar price tag according to some reports.
Protasiewicz will join the court for a 10 year term and will hear arguments about Wisconsin’s pre-Roe abortion law, which are scheduled for next month.
