I reported that President Elmo and his PAC were dropping two thirds of a million dollars on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race for fellow fascist Brad Schimel. Since then, Elmo had doubled the amount and proved that he is as good at buying elections as he is doing government audits: A political action group tied to Elon Musk that has sought to influence Wisconsin’s high stakes Supreme Court election canceled a social media ad this week after it featured the wrong person.

Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford says Elon Musk is "buying off" her opponent but dismisses talks about her $1M donation from George Soros.

The ad includes a picture of Susan P. Crawford, a Harvard University law professor, and not Susan M. Crawford, who is running for a seat on the state's highest court.

Democratic money helped elect a liberal to the state Supreme Court, swinging it to the left. Now, Elon Musk and other wealthy donors have given Republicans a chance to swing it back.

The Democratic-backed candidate in a race that will determine whether liberals maintain their majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court decried Elon Musk's involvement, saying Tuesday that the world's wealthiest man was “trying to buy a seat on our Supreme Court.

On the same day the Musk-funded ads started running in Wisconsin, the Republican majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court issued a little-noticed decision that increases the likelihood that Republicans will overturn the election of Democratic State Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs—the last uncertified race from November 2024.

Schimel, as Wisconsin’s attorney general from 2015 to 2019, defended the state’s strict voter ID law in court and claimed it was a key reason why Trump won Wisconsin in 2016. He also sent Department of Justice staff to monitor the polls in heavily Democratic areas in that election, which Democrats viewed as voter intimidation.

In his first visit to Wisconsin as the new Democratic National Committee chair, Ken Martin, rallied with a group of Wisconsin Democrats ahead of the April 1 race for Wisconsin Supreme Court. "We've got to get out of the mindset that these aren't political anymore," Martin told the group.
