Summary

The race, expected to be the most expensive state supreme court election ever, saw spending top $100 million.

Issues before the court include abortion rights, labor laws, and potential redistricting that could affect GOP control of the U.S. House. Crawford, backed by Democrats and reproductive rights groups, will begin her 10-year term on August 1.

What boggles my mind is that people bitch about taxes and here there was over 100 million in one state just for judge election.

Couldn't, we spend a 100 million in better ways?

Who's good at infrastructure math? Is that one bridge? Is that like 4 roads? Idk...

Absolutely , $100 million is a whole ton of money. It’s not a good excuse, but maybe it is spent in the state’s economy?… don’t make it ok but at least I hope it helped keep some newspapers alive or something.

Reminds me of the door knockers who got paid to shill some libertarian a while back. So Many reports of people with absolutely no motivation, reading the scripts, and sometimes even leaving with a vote for bernie.
