Liberal Judge Susan Crawford has won the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, securing a 10-year term and keeping the court under liberal control. The race became the most expensive judicial election in U.S. history, topping $100 million. Outsider money flooded the contest, with billionaire George Soros pumping over $1 million into Crawford’s campaign. Democrats celebrated the win, but conservatives warn it opens the door for radical policies on abortion and election maps.
Elon Musk tried to fight back, spending $20 million through his political groups to support Crawford’s opponent, Brad Schimel. But coastal elites and out-of-state cash drowned out Wisconsin voices. Musk even offered $100 payments to voters who signed petitions against “activist judges,” but it wasn’t enough. Critics say this election proves big money from liberal donors can buy justice in America.
While Wisconsin swung left, Florida Republicans showed strength. GOP candidates Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis won special elections in deep-red districts by double digits. Their victories prove conservative policies still resonate where common sense hasn’t been erased. Meanwhile, Wisconsin’s high turnout favored urban liberals, with Milwaukee-area voters pushing Crawford over the edge.
The court’s liberal majority now threatens to rewrite Wisconsin’s election maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. This could gerrymander districts to lock in Democratic power for years. They’re also expected to strike down an 1849 law banning abortion, paving the way for unlimited procedures. Pro-life advocates call this a betrayal of Wisconsin’s values.
Crawford’s record raises red flags. She sentenced a sexual predator to just four years in prison — far less than prosecutors wanted. Critics say her soft-on-crime approach puts families at risk. Her history of defending Planned Parenthood and radical environmental regulations shows she’ll push agendas, not follow the law.
National Democrats see this as a victory lap for President Trump’s opponents. But conservatives warn it’s a wake-up call. The Left spent wildly to install a partisan judge who’ll rubber-stamp their demands. This court could block voter ID laws, unleash union power grabs, and erase historical protections.
Wisconsin’s election integrity is now in jeopardy. With liberal judges controlling the state’s highest court, challenges to election laws could tilt future races. The 2024 presidential recount drama might look tame compared to what’s coming.
The battle for America’s heartland continues. While the Left cheers today, real Wisconsinites know fights over life, liberty, and common sense won’t end here. Conservatives must regroup, expose judicial activism, and take back their courts before it’s too late.
