Left-Wing Janet Protasiewicz Projected Winner of Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

KATHERINE HAMILTON 4 Apr 2023

Democrat Janet Protasiewicz has secured a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court over Republican Daniel Kelly, NBC News projected on Tuesday night.

The news outlet projected the Milwaukee County circuit court judge’s victory roughly an hour after polls closed, calling the race with 60 percent of the votes counted. By 1000 p.m. ET, Protasiewicz was leading former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Kelly 57 percent to 43 percent.


Protasiewicz’s victory will give liberals control over the state’s high court for the first time in 15 years, shattering the court’s current fragile 4-3 conservative majority.

Protasiewicz notably leaned into her left-wing worldview while campaigning, decrying the state’s election maps as “rigged” and accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of “incorrectly” deciding the Dobbs decision. Her victory means she will likely get to weigh in on a challenge to the state’s 1849 abortion ban, which went into effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

“I can tell you with certainty that if I’m elected on April 4th, I’m sure that we will be looking — I am sure we will be looking — at that 1849 law,” Protasiewicz said at a campaign stop in March, adding that she “believe in a woman’s right to choose.”

The results of the election could also impact how lawmakers redraw the state’s legislative districts ahead of the 2024 presidential election, as well as parents’ rights, Second Amendment rights, and religious liberty.

The race ended up being the most the most expensive state judicial race in American history, topping at least $42 million — nearly triple the previous national record for a court race, according to the Associated Press.

“As of Monday, Protasiewicz and her backers have spent about $23.3 million compared with about $17.6 million for Kelly and his supporters, according to a report from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which tracks campaign spending,” according to the report.

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin transferred millions of dollars to Protasiewicz’s campaign after receiving millions in donations from out-of-state billionaires like George Soros and J.B. Pritzker. She was also endorsed by Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups.

That's overly defeatist talk.... but it's certainly current observable political reality

GOP Lawmaker Wins Wis. Senate Seat, Creating Supermajority

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican state Rep. Dan Knodl defeated a Democratic attorney to win an open Senate seat in Tuesday’s special election, creating a GOP supermajority in the chamber that could be used to impeach Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and other office holders.

Knodl defeated Jodi Habush Sinykin in the 8th District race. The seat represents Milwaukee’s northern suburbs and has leaned red for years. It came open after longtime Republican incumbent Alberta Darling decided to retire in November. Evers called a special election to fill the position.

"This campaign has always been about focusing on the issues, like rising prices, crime, and education, and I am incredibly grateful to the voters of the 8th Senate District for placing their trust in me to represent them in the Wisconsin State Senate,” Knodl said in a statement Wednesday.

“Whether you voted for me or my opponent, I intend to resolutely and faithfully represent all of my constituents,” he said.

Knodl’s victory gives Senate Republicans 22 votes in the 33-seat chamber. That’s enough to override a gubernatorial veto in that house. A successful override takes a two-thirds vote in the Senate and Assembly, however, and Assembly Republicans remain two seats shy of the 66 they need.

Knodl’s win also gives Senate Republicans enough votes to convict a civil officer, including the governor, other constitutional officers such as the attorney general and judges in impeachment trials. Knodl has said he probably would not support an attempt to impeach Evers.

The state constitution says civil officers can be impeached, including the governor, lieutenant governor and judges. A February analysis from the Legislative Reference Bureau concluded that other constitutional officers such as the attorney general and the state schools superintendent can be impeached as well.

Knodl has said he's not interested in impeaching Evers, saying he has been able to work with the governor. But he said he wants to impeach Milwaukee judges for being too lenient on criminal defendants. That list could include Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz, he said. She won Tuesday's election to the Supreme Court and will take the seat in August.

Knodl also has his sights set on Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chilsholm. Republicans have criticized the Democratic prosecutor for years as too soft on crime. They've called for his job since he acknowledged his office's bail request for Darrell Brooks Jr. was far too low.

Chisholm's office requested a judge set bail at $1,000 for Brooks after he allegedly tried to run over his ex-girlfriend with his SUV in November 2021. The judge complied. Brooks posted the money and was released from jail. Days later he drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, a Republican stronghold. Six people were killed and dozens more were hurt. [see this thread - OB]

Chisholm has said an assistant prosecutor handling Brooks' initial case never had access to his risk assessment and shouldn't have asked for such a low bail amount.

Habush Sinykin, who holds a law degree from Harvard, worked as an attorney for Midwest Environmental Advocates. She was a key litigator in a lawsuit challenging Wisconsin wolf hunters' right to use dogs. An appeals court ultimately rejected MEA's arguments in 2014.

She said she's running for the Senate to stop Knodl from winning the seat, saying it's crucial that checks on the Legislature's power remain in place.

Once again, abortion and Soros wins the day.

No GOP candidate may ever again win in a "blue" state, due to white, liberal women's number one issue, the right to kill your offspring.

...

More than any other group, they are susceptible to bleeding heart liberalism and socialism. It was fertile ground for Marxist conmen.

Another issue is that mid-west Democrats are insulated from the harsh realities of Democrat rule on the urban coasts. They live in a bubble where they think that FDR is still saving America from starvation, poverty and a Depression. In reality, Democrat leaders intentionally create all of that so they can then use the poverty they created as "evidence" that an all-powerful Democrat government is needed to "save" everyone.

Yet on the very same night, a Republican wins the single open Wisconsin Senate seat, turning the Republican-held Senate majority into a Republican-held Senate supermajority ... and that's on top of the Republican-held Assembly majority.

Republican state Rep. Dan Knodl has won an open Wisconsin Senate seat, creating a GOP supermajority in the chamber that could be used to impeach Gov. Tony Evers and other office holders

But if the Republicans were to impeach Tony Evers or Janet Protasiewicz, it'd be the surest way to surrender control of both legislative bodies to the Democrats in the next election.

An observation: The Republicans hold both legislative houses because they controlled the redistricting process and used it to carve out legislative districts that favored Republicans. In state-wide elections, Democrats seem to have the advantage. With the State Supreme Court now in Democratic hands, abortion is probably the lessor of two issues to be concerned with - the other being the Court's influence on redistricting

Fox news segment on Tucker Carlson tonight is reporting that an app was used in the WI judge's race that essentially bribed people $250 to collect names to vote for Protasiewicz.

No hard news links on it yet.

Report Blows the Cover Off Dems' Vote-Buying in Wisconsin Supreme Court Race

If anyone thinks they didn't use every form of fraud they have to achieve their "landslide" I just don't know what to say.

If anyone thinks they didn't use every form of fraud they have to achieve their "landslide" I just don't know what to say.

The problem I have is this:

I see, after every one of these questionable elections reports that are "bombshells", lids being "blown off", Krackens released, corruptions "exposed" and on and on and on.

Breathless reports of the corruptions finally exposed.

And I read through them and yeah, they look pretty "juicy", maybe they finally nailed one of these assholes.

But nothing ever happens.

Nobody goes to jail, no rigged election ever gets overturned, nobody is ever frog marched out of their office or homes.

Unless, of course, you have stood in the way of the deep state.

Agreed.
Something has to change or the left will reach a point where they simply don't hold elections anymore.

But many people keep pushing the idea that these leftist victories are real and caused by the right doing something like supporting MAGA or opposing infanticide.

 

[Anti Globalist]

A liberal supermajority on Wiscosin's supreme court certainly isn't going to help the GOP in 2024.

My first question is "did they win by cheating again"?
