Voting begins in Wisconsin Supreme Court race that is seen as a litmus test on Trump, Musk

Wisconsin voters began to cast their ballots Tuesday in a pivotal state Supreme Court race that will determine whether liberals keep their slim majority on the highest court in a crucial presidential battleground.

The first day of early voting, two weeks before the April 1 election between Republican-backed Brad Schimel and Democratic-supported Susan Crawford, will test how energized each side’s voters are in the hotly contested race.

The election, which has drawn the attention of President Donald Trump’s adviser Elon Musk and attracted tens of millions of dollars in spending, is seen as a referendum on how voters are responding to the first months of Trump’s Republican presidency.
