County by county outcome map for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday. It shows roughly 50% of counties -and 60% of votes - for Democrat, Chris Taylor over the right wing GOP candidate. Southwestern and far north Northwestern, Wisconsin show solidly blue with pockets stretching into the inland counties. on the east Kenosha, Racine, and even Ozaki are blue as is Brown County and it’s surrounding area. (Brown county is Green Bay)

This map makes my heart sing. 60%! 🔥 And seeing blue spread into so many western/northern counties, even holy crap Ozaukee!

It’s gonna be a fight to have a fair opportunity in the fall, but saying goodbye to the Mke-Madison-Door Cty blue islands is delightful. This is the Wisconsin I love.
