" MADISON - Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky won the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, narrowing the conservative majority after a tumultuous election conducted in the midst of a global pandemic, according to unofficial results released Monday.

Karofsky’s victory marked the first time in a dozen years that a Supreme Court challenger beat an incumbent — and just the second time in more than half a century. Her win over Justice Daniel Kelly will shift conservative control of the court from 5-2 to 4-3…

President Donald Trump endorsed Kelly. Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Karofsky, as did U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders just before dropping out of the presidential race. "

It was WI Republicans who insisted on the election going forward. Be careful what you hope for.

So it’s not that Judge Jill Karofsky won on her record or merit, it’s just that she had the backing of Democratic leadership?

No. Actually Kelly was pretty bad news on voting rights and other issues. He was a kind of political hack named to the court by Walker, a noted partisan.
