Elections Wisconsin Supreme Court Election

[curryjunkie]

GOP should really start to tell Elon to relax a bit and focus on his companies.

Companies release statement that they are good thanks and wish Elon well in his political career..

“Today Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections and our Supreme Court,” Crawford said in her victory speech. “And Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale.”

Spending in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, which had already set a record for the most expensive state supreme court race in American history, has passed $90 million as of Monday, according to a tally by The Brennan Center for Justice, a nonprofit law institute.

According to the Brennan Center's tally, Crawford's own campaign has spent more than $22 million; Schimel's has spent over $11 million.

By the end, before accounting for donations Crawfords campaign spent over 28 million while Schimels spent 15 million.

'Our courts sre not for sale'

Crawford said, vowing to be a "fair, impartial and common sense justice."

Voter ID is pretty common sense.

What in the absolute fuck is wrong with him lol

Elon has WDS (Woke Derangement Syndrome) is the only explanation

I suspect Elon actually hurt the candidate far more than he helped on this one.

Indeed! I wonder how long he will be taking L's before he realises he is the problem. Given his ego I would suspect, either quite a long time, or never.

Probably never. No chance he thinks it was anything to do with him.

I'd say the majority of people don't want to see a rich jackass outsider trying to buy votes.

Cool to see how the sentiment against Elon was so strong. If only the Wisconsin voters saw the threat of Trump/Musk 6 months ago, but at least now they realize

All that Money Musk and other pumped in and it only angered the voters. Nice. Wasn’t even close.

Problem is Elon still in Washington but announced he will hand over the DOGE job to AirB&B co-founder.



This guy went to the same college as Elon in Pennsylvania.

So is Elon going to ask for a refund for his bribes?

No but he is demanding at a minimum of 10 women in Wisconsin must be impregnated by him. He needs some kind of return on his investment and also making the GOP campaign worker give back the million dollar check.

I’m a little unplugged for this last few weeks of news cycles. What does it mean for the liberal judge winning ? I know the money and attention thrown at this was bigger than norm

Yeah, Tesla has an upcoming court case here in WI, so ol Elon pumped 22 million into this race to get someone on the bench he thought would rule in his favor.

For us liberals, having Crawford win is significant because there’s an upcoming abortion case. The conservative side feels that with Roe struck down, an old 1849 law banning abortion should rightfully take effect, and the other side of course disagrees. I don’t know how the court will vote of course, but for us we want a liberal-majority court to hopefully protect a woman’s right to choose in our state.

We don’t have any current electoral map cases coming up, but it could happen. We are still trying to unfuck ourselves from the maps created by Republicans in 2010 that made us the worst gerrymandered state in the country. We made major progress with that last year, when a liberal justice also won a Supreme Court election (our terms are such that we’ll be having one of those Supreme Court elections every year for the next several years). That win gave us the first liberal majority on the court since 2008, which is of course significant for us.

For real tho, not sure how anyone can vote for people who oppose voter ID... Actually I guess it'd be quite easy.

I did find it quite easy! I voted against the voter ID amendment, and until legislatures figure out a way to supply a 100% free ID to every registered voter, I will continue to oppose these laws because they are designed to suppress certain voters.

We already have a voter ID law here. They wanted to add it to the Constitution because as it stood. If the Republican-controlled legislature passed some fucked up voter ID criteria, we could challenge it as being unconstitutional. But if you specifically put in the Constitution with the caveat that it is “subject to exceptions which may be established by law,” as it says—well that makes it much easier for them to pass fucked up laws to suppress certain typ s of voters and much more difficult for us to challenge it.

One funny thing I see Republicans doing is saying well actually the Voter ID amendment was the important race here and we won that so there. Elon tweeted tonight that was the most important one. It seems like they don't understand it is already the law in Wisconsin that you need an ID to vote. All this amendment does is make so the law - which has been in place for almost 10 years - can't be rolled back in the future.

The Voter ID amendment is really important. It allows the Republican-controlled legislature to pass fucked up laws to suppress liberal voters which we can no longer challenge as being unconstitutional, since it’s in the constitution.

An epic loss for Elon. He should probably focus on his failing car company now; instead, we’ll probably get 300 tweets from him today, one or two podcast appearances, an interview on Fox News, etc.

"As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin — and we won," Crawford said, vowing to be a "fair, impartial and common sense justice."

Voter ID is pretty common sense.

Are you familiar with all the pros and cons of stricter voter id?
