Statement of Jay Heck, Common Cause Wisconsin Executive Director
Wisconsin voters turned out to vote in record numbers on and before April 1thứ and decisively opted for impartial justice and independence from the influence of the world’s richest person and his unprecedented attempt to buy control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
It wasn’t even close.
$25 million from Elon Musk for negative, untrue ads on the airwaves and social media, for million-dollar payments to selected partisan actors, for $100 bribes to tempt voters to sign petitions and to fund an army of out-of-state canvassers who knew nothing and cared nothing about Wisconsin — were all resoundingly rejected by the voters of Wisconsin.
Wisconsinites were not fooled on this April Fool’s Day election. Over 50 percent of our state’s eligible voters, a record turnout for a Spring contest, voted early in person, by absentee ballot through the US mail or delivery to secure ballot drop boxes, and in person on Election day to reclaim their democracy and their state in the most expensive judicial election in the history of the country with the largest chunk of that money coming from Musk.
It was a massive repudiation not only of Elon Musk, but of what has occurred and continues to occur in Wisconsin and in the nation since January 20th.
The power of Wisconsin voters showing up and voting in droves “trumped” the richest person in the world and other unprecedented billionaire and corporate campaign cash demonstrating yet again that the people, when they are informed, educated and mobilized, can triumph over wealth, negativity and unprecedented outside interference.
Common Cause Wisconsin is proud to have played a role in this inspiring display of democracy in action. This election reaffirms our unshakeable belief that power is ultimately invested in the hands of the people and that democracy will triumph over massive wealth if voters have good reason to engage and participate at the ballot box.
In the Badger State on April 1thứ we did just that.
On Wisconsin. Forward!
