MADISON - Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky won the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, narrowing the conservative majority after a tumultuous election conducted in the midst of a global pandemic, according to results released Monday.
Incomplete returns showed her leading, with more results to come from liberal Dane County.
A Karofsky victory would mark the first time in a dozen years that a Supreme Court challenger defeated an incumbent and just the second time in more than half a century. Her win over Justice Daniel Kelly would shift conservative control of the court from 5-2 to 4-3.
