One liberal and one conservative won the most votes Tuesday, setting up a massively significant #Wisconsin #SupremCourt general election on April 4.
Milwaukee County Judge Janet #Protasiewicz and former state Supreme Court Justice Dan #Kelly — ideological opposites on many hot-button issues — will square off in an election that could alter the state’s trajectory. If Protasiewicz wins, liberals will retake the court’s majority for the first time in nearly 15 years.
Protasiewicz was the first to make it through to the general election; the Associated Press called her primary night win well under an hour after polls closed.
Kelly snatched second place after duking it out with Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow, who placed a close third. Dane County Judge Everett Mitchell, the other liberal in the race, trailed in fourth. Democrats considered Dorow the stronger general election opponent, especially in light of Kelly’s 10-point-plus loss to Jill Karofsky in previous election
