This is a breaking news alert. The Democratic candidate for the Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin that was vacant, Judge Susan Crawford, is now projected to win the major Wisconsin Supreme Court election. She is defeating the MAGA Doge candidate, Brad Schimel. A huge victory for the Democrat aligned Judge Susan Crawford. This election has massive implications. You will recall Elon Musk poured tens of millions of dollars with the MAGA Republicans and other oligarchs to try to get the MAGA Republican Doge candidate Brad Schimel elected. Elon Musk said that this election would determine the fate of civilization. Elon Musk was in Green Bay this past weekend. This is a massive repudiation of Doge. of MAGA, of Donald Trump.

Judge Susan Crawford, the Democratic-aligned candidate for this Supreme Court seat, will go on to win that race. Democrats will go on to take the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. There will be a number of cases before the Supreme Court involving the MAGA Republicans gerrymandering and all of the chicanery that they engaged in with the law finally being followed. This has major implications for future congressional races. For example, MAGA Republican Congress members like Derek Van Orden and Brian Steele both said that they will lose their congressional seats if Judge Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court race because of the redistricting that they expect to take place. Quote, we will both lose now, he said, quote, so that's why everyone is paying attention to this race on a national level. Our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski posted the following after it was predicted that Judge Susan Crawford, the Democratic-aligned candidate, would go on to win this major Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Filipkowski wrote, Trump went all in. Musk went all in.

Musk said Western civilization would end if Judge Susan Crawford won. Musk bought votes. Scott Pressler, MAGA's get out the vote guy, set up shop in Wisconsin and went all in. Charlie Kirk and the whole MAGA Doge gang and all the right wing podcasters went all in. The entire MAGA machine went all in. Donald Trump went all in. Trump spoke from the Oval Office and told people to vote for Brad Schimel just the other day. $53 million were spent to try to prop up the MAGA Doge candidate, Brad Schimel, including PAC money. But Judge Susan Crawford will win this Supreme Court seat easily. And she was far outperforming Vice President Kamala Harris in all of the important counties as we saw them coming in.

Here, play this clip. Him adding his voice to this will help me to get my message out to voters of Wisconsin about restoring objectivity to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And that is the plain clear message. I know there's a lot of questions about this or that. In the end, that is the bottom line. Courts go back to administering the law, not politics.
