In a state known for razon-thin elections, liberals once again won a Wisconsin Supreme Court election by a resounding margin. Chris Taylor's victory Tuesday marked the fourth consecutive state Supreme Court victory for a liberal-backed candidate.

Decision Desk HQ called the race for Taylor at 8:30 p.m.

Taylor's win over the conservative-backed Maria Lazar gave liberals a 5-2 majority on Wisconsin's high court. The results also ensure liberals will have a state Supreme Court majority until at least 2030.

While Wisconsin's judicial races are nonpartisan on paper, they are far from that in reality.
