Currently, the ap count is 1,301,128 crawford, 1036244 Schimel

Look at the last election for that seat, 2015

Bradley got 471,866 to her opponents 340k

Crawford got half a million more votes than both contenders combined for that same seat in the last election.

Or, look at the most recent other Wisconsin supreme court seat, 2023

Protaseiwicz got 1021822 to 818391

Crawford got almost a third of a million more folks to vote for her than the most recent equivalent election. An election where Democrats were very motivated to flip the court.
