Janet Protasiewicz’s win carries tremendous weight in Wisconsin, where the state Supreme Court has been the last word on some of the biggest political and policy battles of the past decade-plus.
Janet Protasiewicz is sworn as a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice onAug. 1, 2023, in Madison, Wis. At right is Protasiewicz' husband Greg Sell.
The conservative-controlled court came within one vote of overturning President Joe Biden’s narrow win in the state in 2020, though Biden still would have had enough electoral votes to claim the presidency. More battles over voting rules and elections are expected leading up to 2024, along with challenges to the state’s abortion ban, Republican-drawn political boundary lines and a host of other hot-button issues.
Protasiewicz replaces retiring conservative Justice Pat Roggensack, who served 20 years, including six as chief justice. The rules for voting and elections are also expected to come before the court heading into the 2024 presidential election.
