WISCONSIN
On February 21st, Wisconsin will be holding a primary election for a seat on the State Supreme Court. The state’s divided government, shaped by heavily gerrymandered legislative maps, has spent the last several years paralyzed by dysfunction and gridlock on many issues including emergency COVID-19 policies, election rules, and the state’s political maps. While state supreme court elections are officially nonpartisan, the court is considered to have a 4-3 conservative majority and will likely determine the fate of abortion rights in the state. The general election will be held April 4th.
