| Megathread: Jill Karofsky Projected to Win Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Posted: 13 Apr 2020 06:13 PM PDT Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky defeated conservative Justice Dan Kelly to win a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in results released Monday from last week's chaotic spring election. The race was officially nonpartisan, but the high court has become heavily politicized in recent years. Liberal groups poured more than $2.4 million into the race for Karofsky, while conservatives spent more than $2.5 million for Kelly — who also drew President Donald Trump's endorsement. Karofsky's victory narrows the court's conservative majority to 4-3 and gives liberals a shot at seizing control when the next seat comes open in 2023.
