Wisconsin Court Flips to Liberal Majority After Key Election
A judge's victory has changed the balance of power on Wisconsin's highest court.
Judge Chris Taylor won her election on Tuesday. This gives liberal justices a 4-3 majority on the state Supreme Court. The court often makes major rulings on voting rights, abortion access, and election maps.
This race did not attract the intense national attention of recent Wisconsin court battles. However, the result is significant. It solidifies liberal control for at least the next two years.
The shift in power could influence upcoming cases on state laws.
