John: On April 1, Wisconsin voters will decide between progressive Dane County Circuit Court Judge Susan Crawford and conservative former Attorney General Brad Schimel in a race that will determine the ideological balance of the court. 

Why is this election important? Wisconsin's Supreme Court elections are nonpartisan, but the ideological balance of the court has widespread ramifications for voting rights, civil rights, and a slew of other state policy implications. State Supreme Courts like this one are also often the final arbiters of election disputes, as we saw in both the 2020 and 2022 elections.

In 2023 progressive judge Janet Protasiewicz won a similar race and flipped the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, giving the state a 4-3 pro-voting rights majority. The outcome of this year's election will determine whether Wisconsin holds that liberal majority moving forward or if the court slides back to the suppressive policies of Wisconsin's past.

Now, news has broken that a political action committee backed by billionaire Elon Musk has scheduled hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of TV ads in Wisconsin. Given everything going on, we can all guess which candidate these ads from the Musk-backed "Building America’s Future" group are going to support.

John: Turnout is key and we have to get the word out in Wisconsin to make sure every defender of voting rights gets to the polls. Help supercharge our efforts with $25 or whatever you can right now to defend a state Supreme Court that protects voting rights >>

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.

Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.

Your support is crucial to our efforts. Will you donate today to help us protect voting rights?
