Two years after Wisconsin was subject to the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history, the ideological leaning of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is yet again in the hands of voters in the state’s April election.

Republicans put Pennsylvania and Wisconsin back in the win column in the 2024 presidential race. Now they’re hoping that momentum carries over to contests this year that will determine whether their state Supreme Courts retain left-leaning majorities or flip to conservative control.

Wisconsin voters will soon vote on who should be the state's next Supreme Court justice, but should justices be appointed or elected?

(WLUK) -- Elon Musk chimed in Thursday on the high-profile race that will decide control of Wisconsin's highest court. The tech giant and world's richest person first shared a post on X, written by a conservative activist, about the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Musk then added this statement:

Susan Crawford is considered the liberal candidate in the state Supreme Court contest to replace retiring liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley. A Crawford win would block the seven-person high court from flipping back to conservative control.
