In a state known for razon-thin elections, liberals once again won a Wisconsin Supreme Court election by a resounding margin. Chris Taylor's victory Tuesday marked the fourth consecutive state Supreme Court victory for a liberal-backed candidate.

Decision Desk HQ called the race for Taylor at 8:30 p.m.

Taylor's win over the conservative-backed Maria Lazar gave liberals a 5-2 majority on Wisconsin's high court. The results also ensure liberals will have a state Supreme Court majority until at least 2030.

While Wisconsin's judicial races are nonpartisan on paper, they are far from that in reality.

6. This feels so good!

So happy. It feels like things are shifting in Wisconsin for the first time since 2010 and the Tea Party takeover.

[blue-wave]

10. OMG! I'm not from Wisconsin

but I remember that. You had that goofball Scott Walker as Governor then, didn't you?

[Talitha]

13. We called him 'Snot' Walker.

A real piece of work.

[blue-wave]

He did act like a spoiled snotty kid.

[Cne99999]

7. By almost 20%

Yes, By almost 20%, 59% to 40%. It ain't purple anymore. Thank you Republicans for being what you are at this moment.

[blue-wave]

9. They are the gift that is giving

at least at this moment, aren't they?

[AllyCat]

17. Taylor flipped Ozaukee and Jefferson counties!

Ozaukee is one of the WOW counties of Waukesha/Ozaukee/Washington. They have reliably voted red for decades.

Not tonight.

Taylor’s opponent is from Waukesha County and only got a single digit lead there.

Dane County, which oozes blue, was an 84-16% blowout.

[blue-wave]

18. Now that's what I call

rockin' the vote!!

[Cha]

23. Wow Good to Know, Ally Cat!

Dane County, which oozes blue, was an 84-16% blowout.

& All of it!

[Talitha]

11. YEAH!!!!!

Hubby and I voted for her today. (Big progress for hubby, because he voted for Dump's first gig, UGH!. Before he retired, he listened to the deep red thoughts of the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers he worked with. After he retired, I was able to turn him towards the truth.)

We in Wisconsin need to keep up the pressure on the damned conservatives that snuck in and took over our beautiful state. It used to be SO beautiful here and we're getting it back again.

GO LIBERALS, GO DEMS!!

[blue-wave]

12. Big thanks to you and your husband!!

[Talitha]

16. Thanks, I'll let him know his vote was appreciated!

[Cha]

24. I feel your Excitement, Talitha!!

Thank You So Much for some of the backstory on Wisconsin.

I remember the whole awful Scott Walker years.. and Tony Shalhoub campaigned for the Dem.

So Happy for you Wisconsinites!
