Progressive judge unseats Scott Walker's pick in major race for Wisconsin Supreme Court

The whole reason why the Wisconsin GOP forced live voting and the SCOTUS tried to limit vote by mail was to defend a state supreme court seat. Wisconsin voters were forced to go out and vote when this was not safe just so the Wisconsin GOP and the RNC could keep one seat on the Wisconsin state supreme court.

The Democrat won this race and so the Wisconsin GOP pissed off a ton of voters and got nothing for their efforts

It is unconscionable that the citizens of Wisconsin were put in the position of risking their health and their lives in order to vote. The long lines shown in videos online are a testament to the bravery and sheer will of you all. Thank you for your determination and your patriotism.
