The Wisconsin Supreme Court election last year was supposed to decide the fate of “Western civilization.” Tuesday’s contest has been a decidedly muted affair. Voters will choose between liberal Chris Taylor and conservative Maria Lazar in the state’s third spring high court election in just four years.
