In April 2023, 1.5 million people of faith did not show up to vote in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. As a result, the court shifted to a liberal majority and abortion was legalized less than six months later.
You don’t have to live in Wisconsin for the up-coming Supreme Court election on April 1 to have a direct impact on your life. No matter where you live in America, this election could decide the fate of all our futures. Here’s how:
Wisconsin essentially decided the last three presidential elections. The final tallies across 2016, 2020, and 2024 came down to a rough average of 25,000 votes. That means a margin of just 25,000(ish) people chose the last three presidents. Isn’t that crazy? Well, things are about to get even crazier in Wisconsin thanks to the balance once-again up-for-grabs within the state’s Supreme Court.
What Happened In 2023 & Why Does It Matter?
The last time the state’s Supreme Court seat flipped from conservative to liberal in April 2023, there were 1,500,000 people of Christian faith who did not show up to cast their vote, according to data obtained by Million Voices. This allowed the court to lean liberal. Within just five months of the April election, Wisconsin once-again legalized abortion in September 2023.
To put into context how this one vote impacted life: between July 2022 and September 2023, zero abortions took place in Wisconsin, according to data released by Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin. (RELATED: One State Could Decide America’s Entire Future In 2025 Should Voters Refuse To Act)
Between September 2023 and the end of 2023 — just three months — at least 880 clinician-approved abortions took place. It is that easy and that quick for things to shift in America. Sometimes all it can take for the horrific to happen is for one group of people to stay home and do nothing.
What Do You Need To Know About 2024?
Along with life, there are myriad issues that could stem from Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election this coming April 1. Faith and freedom are top of the docket, as Wisconsin’s influence over national elections is more than significant.
Foreign billionaire George Soros, who is responsible for installing countless progressively liberal lawmakers across states like California, Oregon and New York, has turned his attention to Wisconsin. He likely realizes that if he can shift the balance of power, and enable policies that allow illegal immigrants and non-citizens to vote, he can send ripple effects throughout the rest of the nation. Is that what you want for America’s future? (RELATED: Make America Wisconsin Again? State Supreme Court Election Could Reset All American Progress)
