Wisconsin Supreme Court 2020: Who Will Win?

[redjohn]

Kelly. Don't underestimate our ability to lose very winnable supreme court races here in Wisconsin.

Given the Dem primary, there is no reason Karofsky should lose.

In-person voting is being strongly discouraged, which will heavily limit turnout in Milwaukee. Dane county, which should be a power-house for Karofsky, is losing tens of thousands of potential votes for her due to students displaced by school closures. Same with other college towns in the state. It'll be surprising if Karofsky wins.

Can't all those people just do mail ballots?

A lot of people don't know how it works and are used to just voting in person. Also, I know of a lot of students who have ordered ballots who've returned home and had their ballots mailed to their University address, who now won't be able to vote. Same with people around the state who normally vote in person and may have requested a ballot in the past few days; if that ballot hasn't come yet, it's unlikely to get to their clerk's office by tomorrow evening.
