Why do we keep spotlighting Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race? Because the richest man in the world thinks he can buy the courts for his personal gain. Wisconsin’s Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski warns: if he can do it here, anywhere is fair game.

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court: The next battleground for democracy

A powerful billionaire thinks he can buy votes in our state. But our courts and our democracy are not for sale.

"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"

And see what happens.
