By Warren Olney • • 1 min readAn otherwise obscure race for a nonpartisan seat on the Wisconsin state Supreme Court turned political as a referendum on Republican Governor Scott Walker's assault on collective bargaining rights. Yesterday, Democrat JoAnne Kloppenburg appeared to come out of nowhere to defeat the incumbent, a former Republican Assembly Speaker by 204 votes. Suddenly, David Prosser was leading by 7500.

Mary Spicuzza reports on state government for the Wisconsin State Journal.
