A pivotal Wisconsin election could shape abortion rights in the state and help decide who wins the crucial battleground in the 2024 presidential election. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
The latest reminder comes from Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. It’s there that a pivotal election, as, “is all but certain to shape abortion rights in the state and could help decide who wins the crucial battleground in the 2024 presidential election.” A primary was held Tuesday ahead of the April 4 general election, when control of the court will be up for grabs, thanks to a conservative justice who will be retiring from the court, which currently has a 4-3 conservative majority.
. Kelly is a former state Supreme Court justice, as well as a Donald Trump ally who advised Republicans on the “fake electors” scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Protasiewicz is a Milwaukee County circuit judge who was endorsed by Emily’s List, an abortion rights group.With control of the Wisconsin high court so starkly on the horizon, I was reminded of the recent political change on North Carolina’s top court.

North Carolina’s judiciary is just one example of how much can change on a state supreme court — and quickly.Jordan Rubin is the Deadline: Legal Blog writer.
