Despite Republicans best efforts to suppress the votes,
Wisconsin showed up for democracy.
|
|
|
Dane County, Wisconsin Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky has defeated incumbent Justice Dan Kelly to win a 10-year seat on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The race was officially nonpartisan but Democrats backed Karofsky and Republicans supported Kelly. The members of the Postcard Brigade of the Red2Blue team wrote approximately 1,000 postcards for Judge Korofsky. In addition, not counted in that number are the efforts of the "Legends Way" postcard group in Turf Valley. They are members of Howard County Indivisible and work directly with Postcards to Voters.
