Janet Protasiewicz won the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, giving the court a new 4-3 liberal majority. This could lead to challenges to current maps for the U.S. House of Representatives, which favor Republicans. Sara Geenen also won election to the state's Court of Appeals, ousting a Republican-appointed judge.
The new liberal majority could also prove crucial in dealing with any potential challenges to the 2024 presidential election results in Wisconsin. In 2020, a majority of the justices refused to hear then-President Donald Trump's challenge to the election, but three conservative justices on the seven-member court wanted to take up the case.
