Liberal candidate Rebecca Dallet has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to Decision Desk. Dallet defeated her conservative opponent for the open seat, Michael Screnock easily, and her victory will cut the conservative majority on the court from 5-2 to just 4-3.
Dallets win is yet another example of liberal voter enthusiasm in state and local elections held during the age of Trump. And in Wisconsin specifically, its a rare victory for a Democratic Party thats been beaten again and again in recent years. (The race was technically nonpartisan, but Dallet was the Democrat-backed candidate, and Screnock the conservative-backed one.)
However, the court will remain in conservative hands for the near future. The next conservative-held seat wont be up for election until 2020, and before that, liberals will have to defend one of their own seats next year.
Once elected, Wisconsin Supreme Court justices serve out 10-year terms. However, if a seat should become vacant in the middle of a term, the governor can appoint a replacement justice. A new election is then scheduled for that seat in the first year when theres no other supreme court election on the ballot (that is, two seats cant go up for election in the same year). Tuesdays election is for an open seat held by a conservative justice who chose to retire.

Obviously this site is allowed by FR.””
They also allow posting of every scrap of old media empire articles to be posted here by the hundreds. The nytimes, WaPo, and CNN should be banned.
Voters look at McShame and McConnell and a few more RINO aholes that are preventing us from making much progress and they turn off. Give up. Unfortunate but understandable - and it just leaves the commie pinko sorozNazi votes, real purchased and faked Either we get a lot more progress soon to repair America from all the obama damage or we will witness a long- term abdication by many, many frustrated conservative and moderate voters who tried very hard in 2016 but apparently failed to win congress or at least the senate in any meaningful manner of speaking and what Trump has been able to achieve has - by all accounts -been largely muted, limited by the RINO sorozNazi blockade””
This is precisely part of the problem. Constantly attacking republicans doesn’t help Trump, but it damn sure helps the rats.
These none voting conservatives might want to remember that their same stay home””
Step back and look at the comments on FR; many commenters submit more negative comments about republicans, which of course hurts Trump, then they do about the real enemies in the RAT party. They simply do not understand the old media and the Rat parties skill in dividing the opposition.
“I know many will give numerous excuses and reasons why it isn’t a big deal, but one day, it may jut become a big deal.”
I had higher hopes, but WISC still holds a Conservative lead. For now.
I figured the party would have to end, eventually. You can look at the history of our state and as soon as things are going good, the Socialists rise up to take power again.
It’s a story as old as time. Conservatives in this state take too much for granted, and also do NOT understand THE ENEMY!
It’s frustrating. :(
This is WHY the Left is keeping the Trump Derangement cranked up to 11. Every local race, even for dogcatcher, is now an end-of-civilization event if a Republican wins.
I told you the republican messaging out of the entire GOP ecosphere is absolutely wretched and is not going to motivate turnout... red meat for the base is NOt going to motivate turnout. Particularly of the non traditional MAGA voter.
If the republicans are going to keep using the same messaging they have been they will lose the house, not even up for debate
Conservatives are expert at resting on their laurels after a string of victories, unfortunately. Instead of staying energized, as the left does, we get lazing and expect the status quo to carry us in the same direction.
Reagan knew better and warned against the incessant attack on liberty that enemies both foreign and domestic would wage.
In the 2016 presidential race, Hillary got 217,000 and Trump got 71,000.
49% her voters came out yesterday, but only 35% of Trump’s voters came out. The Democrats are just better organized in the cities and particularly in the college towns and manage to get their voters to the polls in these lower-turnout elections.
If you want to create an echo chamber that’s an excellent way to go about it. Pretty soon you’ll be as closeted as the average liberal, listening to your personal version of MSNBC.
Djt needs to attack at least those few rinos that have been blocking much progress - they need to be replaced, as hard as that may be, since they refuse to reform

I agree they should be replaced unless it is with a demrat or liberfarian.
Most news sites are not reliable.
That’s one reason we have Free Republic.
To ferret out the truth.
Debate and expose to the truth anything wrong with any news story instead of asking to not allow it to be posted.
They are being replaced with Ds. There several billion sorozNazi dineros plus same from Islamic dictatorship nations all financing another D takeover of America. But since the ratRs vote against almost anything helpful anyway - it wont matter much if pelousy or Schumer take charge of Congress the simple hard fact is that we failed to elect a working congress except in name only - its still run by the swamp alligators
Then why ban sites like the Unz? The stories and comments are very high caliber.
Oh I wasnt asking for it not to be allowed, I was questioning why a far-left propaganda website was chosen to be highlighted on the front page. Vox isnt just unreliable, they are communist agitators who lie to push Marxism and they constantly cheerlead for Democrats. They are as bad as DU. There is a reason that the Vox result came up first in the Google results, because Google has gone on a jihad and is deliberately manipulating search results so that Marxist sources come up first in the rankings.
Yes I know
Nothing could make Roy Moore look better. Wisconsin is not Alabama.
Little at stake? A liberal justice will sit on the Supreme Court for at least 10 years. One more and the left controls the court.
