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& #39;d now have progressive majority on court. Now they can& #39;t flip until 2023

@EricHolder told me that election was "a wake up call" & Dems needed to focus more on local races https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/07/the-courts-wont-end-gerrymandering-eric-holder-has-a-plan-to-fix-it-without-them/">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/...
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& #39;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
