Wisconsin Supreme Court election (NYT gift link)

This election is to fill what was a (retiring) Republican’s seat, so if Dems lose, they still have the majority; if they win, they expand their majority.

They ran on the trans in athletes issue, at least on Baseball broadcasts

The ad was really stupid bad

It was very poorly done, some nameless weepy lady whining her daughter wasn’t gonna get a college sports scholarship because she was competing against boys

So fake , made up, unrealistic and annoying

I’d bet the Rs were annoyed with it too, just put the game back
