- Embed this noticeHistory: the GOP pushed through a ballot measure* to change Wisconsin's constitution in 2015 during a spring election with a terrible turnout of ~24% which changed the way the Chief Justice is selected from "most senior Justice // voted in the most times by Wisconsin citizens" to "let the other Justices on the court choose" because they gained a conservative majority on the court.
The GOP claimed "it will be more democratic because the court will choose their own Chief and they'll get along better" which was absolute horse shit. Imagine if we did this with the Federal Supreme Court. 💩
Now they're pissed the court majority is liberal and is using their majority powers to the max.
The wording of this ballot measure was, like usual, extremely confusing. And there was nothing interesting on the ballot to bring people to the polls. Pure evil.
