LIVE UPDATES: Joe Biden wins Wisconsin's presidential primary with a critical state Supreme Court race still too close to call
Business Insider ^ | April 13, 2020 | Grace Panetta

Wisconsin is releasing results from its presidential primary and state Supreme Court election after the deadline to send in absentee ballots passes at 4 p.m. Central Time and 5 p.m. Eastern Time on April 13.

What's at stake?

Bernie Sanders officially dropped out of the presidential primary on April 8, making former VP Joe Biden the presumptive Democratic nominee. While Sanders will continue to stay on the ballot in upcoming primaries and earn delegates from those contests, he formally endorsed Biden on April 13.

In the Democratic presidential primary, Wisconsin allocates 84 pledged delegates to the Democracy convention, with 55 allocated between Wisconsin's eight congressional districts and 29 at-large and PLEO (party leader and elected official) delegates allocated based on the statewide results.

The other major statewide election on the ballot this year in Wisconsin was a key State Supreme Court race, in which Democratic-backed Jill Karofsky challenged Republican-backed Judge Daniel Kelly, who was appointed by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker.

While state Supreme Court candidates in Wisconsin are technically nonpartisan, they are almost always aligned with or supported by political parties. Currently, the court is composed of five conservative-aligned judges, including Kelly, and two liberal judges.

Biden is a zombie candidate. The Democrats are up the creek without a paddle when it comes to Sleepy Joe Biden.

Actually, I don’t know how they can call the SC race close. Current numbers show Karofsky up by about 51,000 votes with more than half of the precincts reporting. I don’t know how Kelly will overcome that.

It looks like George SoreAss and Eric Holder have bought a liberal seat on the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile it looks like the conservative SC incumbent is losing handily to his moonbat challenger.

Nothing to cheer about.

A Tesla or Prius isn’t going to hold 58,000 ballots, which is about the current lead for Karofsky.

It still is 4-3 now with conservative majority. 5-2 would have been sweet. Dems will say see republicans we turn out even during a coronavirus.

I wish someone would explain why Wisconsin banned release of election returns for a week as they did here.

And i wish someone would assure us that there was proper security and chain of custody of the ballots, as they lay somwhere until the powers that be allowed the votes to be counted.
