Wisconsin's Supreme Court Election: Liberals Score Big Win with Abortion Message.

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Dan Kelly lost his race against Milwaukee County Judge Janet Protasiewicz by 11 percentage points, giving the court its first liberal majority in 15 years. However, Kelly refused to concede peacefully and used his concession speech to bitterly lash out against Protasiewicz, calling her a "serial liar" and accusing her of disregarding judicial ethics. Protasiewicz's win is expected to have a big impact on statewide issues like reproductive rights.

Janet Protasiewicz wins historic and expensive Wisconsin Supreme Court race with pro-choice message.

Liberal candidate Janet Protasiewicz defeated conservative Dan Kelly in a closely watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race, giving control of the state's highest court to liberals for the first time in 15 years. The result has implications for Wisconsin's role as a battleground state, as well as for controversial policies enacted under a Republican-controlled state Legislature. Protasiewicz's campaign largely focused on telling voters she supports abortion access, a partisan appeal to voters that was unprecedented in a judicial race before and forecasted how she might vote on a lawsuit seeking to repeal the state's abortion ban that is expected to land before the high court.

"Record-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court race ends in liberal victory"

Democrat-backed Milwaukee judge Janet Protasiewicz defeated former Justice Dan Kelly in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, flipping control of the court to liberals for the first time in 15 years. The court is expected to decide a pending lawsuit challenging the state's 1849 law banning abortion, and a new challenge to Republican-drawn legislative maps. The race became the most expensive contest for a state Supreme Court seat in U.S. history. Protasiewicz will begin her 10-year term in August, replacing retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack.

Election Update: Kelly Travels, Protasiewicz Grounded with Illness.

Dan Kelly, a conservative candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, spent his final day of campaigning on a seven-city trip across the state, while his opponent, liberal Janet Protasiewicz, was absent from the campaign trail for the fifth consecutive day due to illness. The stakes are high as voters decide whether to flip the ideological balance of the state's Supreme Court, with conservatives having controlled the high court for the past 15 years. The increasingly testy contest has blown past state and national spending records for a statewide court, due largely to the influx of national money and outside TV ads.

"Fiery Debate Erupts in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election"

The candidates for Wisconsin's Supreme Court seat, Dan Kelly and Janet Protasiewicz, got personal during their only debate, with Kelly repeatedly calling Protasiewicz a liar and Protasiewicz calling Kelly a threat to democracy. The campaign has shattered the previous national record for spending on a state supreme court race, fueled largely by attack ads. A win by Kelly would preserve the court's conservative majority, while a win by Protasiewicz would flip the ideological balance of the court to liberals.
