Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate brings up past election fraud claims

Published March 20, 2025 11:30am ET



Judge Brad Schimel, the conservative candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election, is coming under fire from Democrats after rallying supporters to vote early in the high-stakes contest in an effort to prevent voting fraud. 

Schimel urged voters to “get our votes banked, make this too big to rig so we don’t have to worry that at 11:30 in Milwaukee, they’ll find bags of ballots that they forgot to put in the machines like they did in 2018 or 2024 when Eric Hovde was ahead all night and then all of a sudden Milwaukee County changed that.”
