.#Wisconsin story. @JMilesColeman worked with @DecisionDeskHQ to break down this week’s state Supreme Court election. They will get to turnout next week. Democratic-backed candidate had won decisively in a race two years ago; maps here suggest what was different this time.
Context on the Neubauer-Hagedorn results above, by @BruceMurphyMKE. Points to @DanielBice for retweeting this, since one of Murphy’s arguments is that this campaign reflected diminished influence of @journalsentinel, Wisconsin’s largest newspaper.
Lastly, @SykesCharlie offers his take on how Hagedorn pulled out a narrow victory despite being abandoned by prominent GOP-leaning business groups: It came down to self-identifying Christians buying his claim to be a victim of religious persecution.
Both @BruceMurphyMKE & @SykesCharlie are far more steeped in Wisconsin politics than I. W/that said, I’d really like to see comparative turnout breakdown from Milwaukee County. In a low-turnout judicial election, Dems can’t count only on fervor from affluent, white Dane County
