A Wisconsin state court of appeals on Tuesday put on hold a ruling requiring the urgent removal of more than 200,000 names from the state’s voter rolls, the latest twist in a closely watched legal fight playing out in the battleground state ahead of the 2020 election. The ruling comes after a lower court judge last month ordered the purging of roughly 234,000 people from voter rolls because they may have moved, and a day after the state's elections commission and several of its members were found in contempt of court for not complying with the removal order. The latest...

Rebecca Bradley elected to state Supreme Court From the Wisconsin 2016 spring election series WAUWATOSA — Justice Rebecca Bradley was elected Tuesday to a 10-year seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating state Appeals Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg in a bitter, highly charged race. With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Bradley held a decisive lead over Kloppenburg, who made her second unsuccessful run for a seat on the state’s highest court. Bradley told supporters at a election night party in Wauwatosa that she drew strength during the campaign from her fiance who, during tough moments of the spring campaign, quoted Winston...

The U.S. Supreme Court isn’t the only one traversing hazardous ground. Wisconsin’s highest court could see its nominally Conservative majority diminished this April. There’s no mystery about which direction the character of the Wisconsin Court would move if Joanne Kloppenburg unseats Justice Bradley—the constitutionalist Rebecca Bradley, not the Liberal Ann Walsh Bradley—April 5. Kloppenburg has never let reluctance to prejudge cases impede her pursuit of a seat on the state Supreme Court. The intent to overturn Conservative reforms like the Act 10 government union smackdown was openly understood to be the whole reason for her initial candidacy in 2011. A...

Quick! Send money now! Don't think! JoAnne Kloppenburg is just $10 away from winning the Supreme Court Justice election in Wisconsin. Of course, the DUmmies have absolutely no memory of being scammed by Bev Harris and are now completely wasting their money again as you can see in this THREAD, "WI - Klopp needs $ & volunteers NOW for Wauk Co." I'm surprised that Head DUmmie Skinner has allowed this scam thread to remain but I guess he is too passive to take any action on it. Hey, he sat by and allowed the DUmmies to be scammed over...

This weekend's Tea Party rally in Madison, Wis., drew familiar figures like Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart, but perhaps the most interesting speaker was a 14-year-old girl named Tricia Willoughby. Tricia wowed, among others, Rachael Larimore, who writes for Slate.com's ladies blog, XX Factor. [botwt0419] YouTube "What's impressive is her strong voice, her confidence, and, let's face it, her youth," Larimore writes. "The Tea Party is often seen as being made up entirely of cranky middle-aged people who don't like paying taxes. But here is a smart, engaging young woman speaking with the poise of someone older." Showing considerably...

MADISON - Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser is on track to lead challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg by about 7,300 votes after all counties finish verifying the ballots cast in last week's election — a margin that would be difficult to overcome even with a statewide recount.

In one of the most politically charged judicial elections since Rose Bird lost her seat in California, Wisconsin voters marched to the polls and delivered … a dead heat. Fewer than 600 votes separate incumbent Justice David Prosser and his labor-backed opponent, JoAnne Kloppenburg, with Prosser barely in front. Almost 1.5 million voters cast ballots in this race, not far from the 2.1 million who voted in November’s Senate race, an indication of the stakes involved in this election: Justice David Prosser clung to a narrow lead over Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg in the state Supreme Court race early...

Unfortunately for her there is a boat load of out of state special interest group involvement on her side of the upcoming supreme court election in Wisconsin. In fact, it seems the biggest spender in this race is the Greater Wisconsin Committee which National Review says is a group funded by the national union movement and wants to put $3 million into the race when all is said and done. Furthermore the Wisconsin Reporter tells us that when Kloppenburg was called out by her opponent for a misleading ad put out by that group Kloppenburg defended herself by pointing out...
