Anonymousabout 10 hours ago

Wisconsin's April 2026 Supreme Court election pits liberal judge Chris Taylor against conservative judge Maria Lazar in a race that has drawn a fraction of the spending and attention of the state's blockbuster 2023 and 2025 judicial contests. With early voting down 60% from 2025 and total spending under $9 million — compared to $144.5 million last year — the race offers a test case for whether Democratic dominance in Wisconsin judicial elections persists when the stakes are lower, the donors are exhausted, and the court's liberal majority is not on the line.
