MILWAUKEE, WI (AP)— Abortion has been top-of-mind for many voters casting early ballots in the race for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The winner of the April 1 election could hold the power to determine the fate of future litigation in Wisconsin over abortion because the outcome of the race will decide whether liberals or conservatives hold a majority on the state’s highest court.
Democrats are hoping voters will be motivated by the potential revival of an abortion ban from 1849 a law enacted before women could serve in the Legislature.
