Dominant majority appears in reach for the Left on Wisconsin Supreme Court
It wasn’t that long ago – 2018 to be exact – that the political Right held a commanding 5-2 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
That control of the state’s highest court allowed Republicans to get favorable rulings on some major disputes, including gerrymandered political districts, curbing labor union laws, and limiting the power of the Democratic governor.
Now the state’s political Right worries about a court that could have a 5-2 left-leaning majority this year, and maybe even 6-1 next year if things don’t start turning around.
In one of the most politically purple states in the country, left-leaning candidates for the court have won their technically nonpartisan elections, held in April, by ten points or more in each of the last three contests.
