Wisconsin Supreme Court race could have big implications for abortion, election laws

Wisconsin voters will winnow a field of four state Supreme Court candidates to two on Tuesday in a critical race to determine which party will hold the majority on the state's highest court. 

The state has had a Republican-leaning majority on the state Supreme Court for 14 years, but the retirement of conservative Justice Patience Roggensack has opened up an opportunity for liberals to take the majority. 

A shift in power could have major implications for abortion access in the state, the drawing of congressional district lines, and any election-related legal fights leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
