A race for a seat on the Supreme Court in Wisconsin normally is not news outside of Kenosha. But yesterday it was news, as reported by the Washington Post.

Democrat wins a bitter, costly race for
Wisconsin Supreme Court
Both candidates and their supporters turned the race, which is technically nonpartisan, into a political referendum. Dallet ran early ads that accused President Trump of “attack[ing] our civil rights and our values,” while Screnock portrayed himself as a “rule of law” conservative endorsed by the National Rifle Association. By election day, more than $2.5 million had been spent on TV ads.
With 88 percent of the precincts reporting, Dallet had 56 percent of the vote and Screnock had 44 percent.
