“He’s trying to bribe voters," @benwikler.bsky.social told me in Kenosha about Musk's scheme to give out $1 million to voters in Wisconsin. "He’s trying to buy an election. This is totally out of line. This should not be how American democracy works.” https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/elon-musk-wisconsin-supreme-court-vote-buying-one-million-schimel-crawford/

In some, elected, either party ticket or non-partisan.
In many, governor-appointed, sometimes with legislation approval. In some, a state commission uses a merit-based system to make recommendations to the governor, otherwise completely the governor's discretion.

We have 7 Supreme Court seats. Each has a 10 year term. Some years we have one, some we have zero. Elections are always in the spring cycle.
Races are non-partisan but have clear left/right lean. This replaces a retiring left leaning judge; the others are split 3-3.
