Wisconsin voters just gave liberals a 5–2 lock on the state’s highest court. Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor, a former Democratic lawmaker, defeated conservative Judge Maria Lazar for a 10-year term. That extends a run of four straight liberal wins since 2020 and widens the margin from 4–3 to 5–2. The Associated Press and Washington Post called the race Tuesday night; the majority is likely to hold at least through 2028. (apnews.com)

What this majority means in practice

• Redistricting: In December 2023, the court’s then-new 4–3 majority struck down the GOP’s state legislative maps for violating the constitution’s contiguity rule—54 of 99 Assembly districts and 21 of 33 Senate districts contained noncontiguous territory—and ordered new lines for 2024. By February 2024, maps favored by Gov. Tony Evers were adopted, reshaping competitive terrain for the rest of the decade. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.c...

The recent election of Chris Taylor to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, expanding the liberal majority to 5-2, is a stark reminder of the relentless liberal agenda to reshape our nation's institutions.

In a resounding victory for justice and democracy, Chris Taylor's election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court has fortified a 5-2 liberal majority, signaling a decisive shift toward progressive jurisprudence in the state.
