Tomorrow's election comes after the elections in 2023 and 2025 altered the ideological makeup of the State Supreme Court. Liberal-leaning justices now hold the majority. The ideological makeup will not be influenced by this election, but that doesn’t mean the race won’t have a long-term impact. WUWM’s Maayan Silver is joined by Barry Burden, politics professor at UW-Madison, to find out what’s at stake in this election.
