Wisconsin voters will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide which two candidates will advance to the general election for the state Supreme Court, a race that could determine which party holds the majority on the state's highest court. The ballot features two conservative and two liberal candidates, as well as a nonbinding advisory question about welfare benefits. The outcome of the election could have major implications for abortion access, congressional district lines, and 2024 presidential election legal fights.
