Musk and groups he backed spent more than $21 million (\u20ac19.45m) on the court race in what has become a crucial battleground state. Celebrating her victory, Crawford, who will serve a 10-year term, alluded to Musk\u2019s close involvement in the election.\u201cGrowing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we won.\u201d\u201cToday Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections and our Supreme Court,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price. Our courts are not for sale.\u201dSchimel called Crawford to concede once the vote projections showed that she had an unassailable lead. When the conservative judge told his supporters about the call, some in the crowd accused the other side of cheating.\u201cNo,\u201d Schimel said in response. \u201cYou&#8217;ve got to accept the results.\u201dA razor-thin majorityWhile Musk encouraged Wisconsin voters to see the election as a means of expressing support for US President Donald Trump\u2019s agenda, the Democrats sought to portray it as a referendum on Musk himself.Crawford\u2019s win could have major implications for federal politics, as the state\u2019s top court is likely to decide on congressional district boundaries, which have favoured Republicans in recent years. Despite only narrowly defeating the Democrats in Wisconsin in November\u2019s presidential election, the Republicans currently control six of the state\u2019s eight US house seats. Trump allies worry this could change if the boundaries are redrawn, threatening the US president\u2019s razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives.That is why Tuesday\u2019s judicial election was so important to both political parties, with Trump himself calling the race there \u201ca big deal\u201d. Voter turnout exceeded 52% of the voting age population, far above the previous record of almost 40% that was set in 2023. Nearly $99 million (\u20ac91.7m) was spent on the contest, the most ever on a judicial election, according to the Brennan Centre for Justice. While Musk campaigned for Schimel, the Republican-backed candidate, and gave away two $1m (\u20ac0.93) cheques to voters, the Democrats&#8217; former vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz travelled from neighbouring Minnesota to support Crawford\u2019s election bid, which received financial backing from donors including the billionaire George Soros.ADVERTISEMENTMusk was forced to delete certain posts on X that some said amounted to offering his millions in direct exchange for votes, something that would have violated Wisconsin state law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic ADVERTISEMENTDemocratic Party-backed judge Susan Crawford has been elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court after the most expensive judicial race in US history, one that saw tech billionaire and Trump administration figure Elon Musk offering voters seven-figure rewards for supporting Crawford&#8217;s opponent.Crawford defeated the Trump-endorsed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":261523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-261522","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261522"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":261524,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261522\/revisions\/261524"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
