Wisconsin voters will be heading to the polls this spring with the balance of power on the state Supreme Court at stake. Here's how spring turnout compares with the fall elections.
, who served on the court since 2003, has created an opening. Roggensack is part of the four-justice conservative majority on the seven-member court.There are four candidates running in the Feb. 21 primary and the top two finishers on the ballot will move on to the April 4 election. Justices serve 10-year terms.
The court is officially nonpartisan, but campaigns and supporters backing the candidates are decidedly partisan: Former Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly and Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow, are both on the conservative side, and Dane Circuit County Judge Everett Mitchell and Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Janet Protasiewicz, both on the liberal side.
"This is a very important election for the state of Wisconsin, and historically, our spring elections have a smaller turnout associated with them," state Senate Minority Leader Melissa Agard, D-Madison, said Jan. 3 on PBS Wisconsin’s"Here & Now." "We do know that because of the split government that we have in Wisconsin and the history of laws being litigated up to the Supreme Court in Wisconsin over the last decade or more that the Supreme Court's makeup really does matter and does affect the everyday lives of the people of the state of Wisconsin."
As the spring election gets fired up, we thought Agard’s statement would be a good chance to dig into how spring turnout compares with the fall elections.
