Wow, despite massive GOP voter suppression, progressive judge Jill Karofsky is projected to defeat Trump-endorsed Justice Dan Kelly in Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Huge upset & defeat for attempts to undermine voting rights
If Dems had flipped 6,000 votes & won Wisconsin Supreme Court seat last year they'd now have progressive majority on court. Now they can't flip until 2023
@EricHolder told me that election was "a wake up call" & Dems needed to focus more on local races motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

GOP still has 4-3 majority on state Supreme Court & could authorize purge of 232,000 voters before Nov. The fight for voting rights in Wisconsin is far from over (I'll have much more to say about this tomorrow)
There is nothing more disgraceful in a democracy than preventing people from voting & to see it backfire on the Wisconsin GOP is sweet revenge
One last thing: Wisconsin coverage by @journalsentinel reporters has been indispensable & you should all subscribe like I do & support @patrickdmarley @MollyBeck @WisVoter @MSpicuzzaMJS @DanielBice & rest of the team
