Democratic-backed candidate Chris Taylor is projected to win a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, expanding the court’s liberal majority, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Taylor, an appellate court judge, defeated Maria Lazar, a conservative and fellow appellate court judge, for a seat left open by conservative Justice Rebecca Bradley, who opted to not seek reelection.
Wisconsin’s high court currently boasts a 4-3 liberal majority, expanding to a 5-2 edge with Taylor’s victory.
It’s a major victory in the state for Democrats, who only three years ago flipped the state’s high court from a conservative majority to a liberal one.
Though Taylor was expected to win Tuesday, the election has underscored the speed with which Democrats have taken partisan control of a high court in a consequential battleground state.
