Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state.

"In some states, it is illegal to give water to voters waiting in line to vote, but Musk can give $50 for someone waving a photo of his preferred candidate. His preference for money shows a deep distrust of democracy, assuming the best way to shape it is by paying voters rather than by the power of ideas.

Can We Still Govern? · The Biggest Loser in WisconsinBy Don Moynihan

"The comfortable win by Democratic Judge Susan Crawford is the second sign in two weeks of a political backlash against the Trump Presidency. ...

That’s a warning to the GOP that the Trump-Musk governing style is stirring a backlash that could cost them control of Congress next year."

Bei einer wegweisenden Wahl um einen Sitz im Obersten Gerichtshof des US-Bundesstaats Wisconsin hat die liberale Richterin #SusanCrawford gewonnen.
#Trump + #Musk hatten sich vor der Wahl öffentlich für ihren konservativen Kontrahenten eingesetzt.
#Musk schaltete sich intensiv in den Wahlkampf ein, reiste nach Wisconsin + überreichte u.a. 2 Wählern Schecks im Wert von 1 Mio$, die eine Petition gegen "aktivistische Richter" unterzeichnet hatten.

Every little bit counts

Let's keep building momentum

"#SusanCrawford wins Wisconsin #SupremeCourt race, defying Elon Musk"

(This was actually a big deal considering the docket currently facing the #WisconsinSupremeCourt soon to be decided)
