Wisconsin Republicans Hit Their Vote Target, but Democrats Blew Past Theirs

Again and again, Republicans repeated their goal for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday: Get more than 60 percent of President Trump’s voters to back Judge Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate, and they would win, flipping the court’s majority back to the Правилно.

арбитър Шимел удари своя знак: той завоюва 62 % от ноември на господин Тръмп в страната. Той притегли повече гласове, даже от правораздаването Джанет Протасевич в състезанието на Уисконсин през 2023 година за съда, когато тя съобщи 11-точково туптене на претендента за консерватория. That was the last judicial race that Democrats had turned into a national cause.

The problem for Republicans this time was that Susan Crawford, the liberal candidate on Tuesday, won 78 percent of Vice President Kamala Harris’s vote total in Wisconsin — an astonishing figure for a spring election in an off year, and one that made a mockery of the bar the G.O.P. had set for itself.

This was an across-the-map thrashing: Judge Crawford’s percentage of the Harris vote was higher than Judge Schimel’s percentage of the Trump vote in every one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.

The turnout advantage for Judge Crawford was strongest in Wisconsin’s college towns and rural areas, where the Democratic Party’s organizational advantage is most pronounced.
