Today is judicial election day for Wisconsinites, notes Greg Sargent:
With voters set to choose today between incumbent conservative state Supreme Court judge David Prosser and liberal challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America arepumping a new robocall into the homes of Wisconsinites that features Dem state senator Chris Larson, one of the fugitive Dems and a rising star in national progressive circles. “Whoever wins this election will decide the legality of Scott Walker's recent anti-worker bill,” Larson says.
Labor and the left badly want a win today, because it will give another burst of momentum to the drive to recall Wisconsin Republicans and will signal that the grassroots energy unleashed by Walker's overreach is still in force.
