A conservative victory in Wisconsin now is a done deal in the election to replace retiring uber-liberal Justice Shirley Abrahamson. We previously reported on the victory by conservative appeals court Justice Brian Hagedorn, Wisconsin Sup Ct election has Democrats worried for 2020 – Conservative has unexpected lead heading into possible recount.

Wisconsin Supreme Court election fights have been some of the most intense and bizarre elections we have covered over the years. According to US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Robert, "We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges." Maybe, maybe not, but in Wisconsin there sure are conservative and liberal judges, and the battle for control of the court has moved in sync with the battle by former Governor Scott Walker to wrestle control of the state from public sector employee unions.

Wisconsin Republicans passed legislation early Wednesday morning that will limit the powers of the incoming Democrat Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General. From The New York Times:
The package of bills, which now awaits Mr. Walker’s signature, would limit early voting and, for the coming months, give lawmakers, not the governor, the majority of appointments on an economic development board. They also prevent Mr. Evers from banning guns in the Wisconsin Capitol without permission from legislators.
