Fact
The winner will rule on:
- The Wisconsin’s Attorney General’s challenge to the state’s 1849 abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, which took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
- Labor issues, like a 2014 decision strongly limiting public employee unions.
- Any cases on voting rules, like a 2020 decision to reject Donald Trump’s post-election challenges and a 2022 decision to ban ballot drop boxes.
- The next round of redistricting and any challenges to current Republican-drawn legislative maps strongly favoring that party’s candidates.
Opinion
Wisconsin has been a swing state for the last few Presidential elections, this situation may have a major impact on our next Presidential election. These actions in Wisconsin undermine the “one man, one vote”, the principle of equal representation in voting. The sanctity of our elections is a cornerstone of our republic. When elections are influenced more by those who have dollars and power our country will become more divided. “The ends justify the means” leads to division in our Country, we all have to take responsibility to respect our laws and our fellow Americans and their rights.
