Total spending on the race has reached more than $81 million, including more than $17 million by groups funded by Musk, according to a tally Tuesday by the Brennan Center for Justice. That’s the most on record for any U.S. judicial race, breaking the $56 million spent on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court contest in 2023, when majority control also was on the line.
Musk himself has given the Wisconsin Republican Party $3 million this year, which it can then forward to Schimel’s campaign or spend on the race itself.
All that spending and attention has helped fuel early voting, said Kevin Kennedy, Wisconsin’s former top elections official who now works as a consultant. He spoke while taking a break from working at a Madison poll site where people could vote early. More
The Brennan Center for Justice has given Crawford what appears to be a 2-to-1 advantage in funding for the race. Here
democRATz say it’ll be the best court you can buy!
“…Thanks to unlimited spending allowed by Citizens United and other court decisions, money is flowing into the race from all over the country. This infusion of national spending risks drowning out voices from within the state….”
Citizens United was the worst supreme court decision ever for fair elections. The name itself – CITIZENS united – is a lie, as it has nothing to do with the will and best interest of citizens. It granted the right for CORPORATIONS to donate to candidates and PACs to unfairly influence laws and our election results, for the benefit of CORPORATIONS’ best interest, NOT the best interest of individual citizens.
Corporations don’t vote, they are inanimate legal constructs who have ONE purpose only, as defined in their corporate charter – to maximize shareholder wealth. Corporations have no morals or values – pursuit of profit within the constraint of the law (which itself is not necessarily morally based) is it’s number one objective.
The majority of corporations, by virtue of their size, have infinitely more money to invest in political campaigns than individual citizens do. The advantage they have gives them unfair influence in promoting their desired candidate and/or laws.
With regard to this Wisconsin state supreme court election, Susan Crawford is supported by George Soros and other hardcore communist/progressive out of state PACs and other donors. This is critical because the dems plan to re-draw two Congressional districts and will need the support of the state supreme court to accomplish it. Two House seats flipping from R to D will potentially change control of the House. And I suspect that Wisconsin is not the only state where this dem strategy is being implemented.
100 million is cheap if it buys you a government to loot.
First time I voted was in Wis for a president.
It was a shock to see a Co0mmunist party candidate on the ballot.
That was 1976. The state is rife with bad pols, so who knows what you really get there.
