Steve Kornacki: Two very different parts of Wisconsin that will tell the story of the state Supreme Court election
nbcnews ^ | 04/01/2025 | By Steve Kornacki

While Wisconsin's Supreme Court race is officially nonpartisan, Democrats and Republicans have both picked sides and are pouring fortunes into their efforts. As the votes are tallied Tuesday night, the ability to claim political momentum amid the upheaval of President Donald Trump’s second term will be on the line.

What is being tested, though, is not so much whether large numbers of voters have changed their minds in the five months since the presidential election. When it comes to Trump himself, Wisconsin is an especially polarized state, with three straight presidential elections decided by less than 1 point. More likely, the outcome hinges on whether the pro-Trump side has become more engaged in an election like this than it has been up to this point.

This is a clear advantage that Democrats have carved out in the Trump era. In stand-alone elections for lower-profile offices, in which turnout is far lower than in races for president or even governor, they’ve had the more motivated set of voters. This has been true in Wisconsin, where the Democratic-backed candidate won the most recent Supreme Court election in 2023 by 11 points. And it has been true nationally, where Democrats have posted a string of wins and overperformances in House special elections the last few years.

The article begins with a lie, it is far from non partisan and Wisconsin / democrats has already been caught doing shady things with ballots and vote counting in this election.

Leftists are concentrated in urban areas. This advantage in “voter density” makes conventional advertising and “buy/collect-the-vote” efforts efficient, especially for special elections. Republicans need to stop letting the Dems engineer special elections, plus develop alternative ways to reach and motivate their voters. Trump did this with his rallies, thus Elon Musk’s recent appearance. R’s need a strong internet/smartphone/ballot-harvesting game.

Obviously NBC thinks the rat is going to win because they are framing it as a referendum on Trump. Brace yourself the rats are already cheating. Team Trump seems to have realized the importance of this race a bit too late

20 million illegal alien’s are registered.

That’s all the rats need. Once those illegals are registered, the rats produce the mail-in ballots. This has been going on for decades.

THERE ARE NOT 20 MILLION illegals registered to vote in Wisconsin.
State has under 6 million population

The fix is in for places like Milwaukee and Madison where phony ballots are ready and waiting to be counted in secret.

Large part of blame should go to RPW Chair Brian Schimming. Schimming is a Ronna Romney type GOPe weasel who is more interested in purging conservatives from County Party structures than outreach and communication

Schimming and his minions pissed away several weeks in February going after TPUSA aligned County Chairs in Milwaukee, Sheboygan, and Dane Co. The first term chairs replaced useless GOPe chairs and actually stopped the hemorrhage to some degree in 2024.

However, Schimming does not like TPUSA and caused about 3 weeks of bickering trying to unseat the TPUSA aligned chairs
