The balance of Wisconsin's state supreme court will shift slightly more liberal in a major upset win for Democrats after Republicans prevented them from postponing the election due to the coronavirus.
Several news outlets called last week's Wisconsin supreme court justice election for Jill Karofsky, a liberal, rather than incumbent conservative justice Daniel Kelly.
That shifts the power balance of the state's highest court from a 5-2 conservative majority to a 4-3 conservative majority.
As of 8:15 p.m. EST, Karofsky had 53.2% of the vote while Kelly had 46.8% with 63% of precincts reporting.
