| Description | Republicans are considering using their lame-duck session to help keep a conservative on the state Supreme Court and give GOP legislators greater control of two state boards.
The move could cost taxpayers millions of dollars and comes as part of an effort to limit the power of Democrat Tony Evers before he is sworn in as governor in January.
Republicans for a year have been concerned about the 2020 state Supreme Court race because it will be held alongside Wisconsin's presidential primary — when Democratic turnout is expected to far outpace Republican turnout because Democrats will be deciding who in their party will challenge President Donald Trump. |
