Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Gets Nasty. And Weird.

[Geee]

PJ Media:

In this very unusual election year, it is understandable that all eyes are turned to the spring primary elections and caucuses preparatory to the party conventions in July and the general election in November. But other offices are being decided this spring, too -- offices of crucial importance on the municipal, county, and state level.

 

And some of those elections are shaping up to be just as nasty as the national elections promise to be.

 

Here in our little Midwestern laboratory of democracy, Wisconsin, a brutal battle is shaping up for the state Supreme Court. It all started when long-serving Supreme Court Justice N. Patrick Crooks (considered to be a “swing” vote between the more conservative wing of the court’s jurists and its Leftist activists) was found dead on September 21, 2015. Crooks, whose term would have expired this year, had long been in failing health and had previously announced his intent to retire.
