What happened in Menominee? Also, does the last graph show that turnout was lower during the general election than in either special election?

Maybe if these people had turned out in 2024 they could have been less concerned about 2025. Although I suppose better state level coverage is the way to go long term if the GOP’s ability to rule by minority is anything to go by.

But vote share is down from 2023? Is that not concerning?

To insiders, what would be a reason for the especially notable swing on the whole south-west quadrant of the State ?
Also to put some context: the 2023 supreme court election had not been targeted by the RNC and thus did not lead to any significant investment during the campaign, which can explain for the slight retreat observed for the Democratic Party on this basis of comparison.

It’s like the Cramer effect. The more money Elon pumps in, the more people go to the other candidate. I hope it continues.

There have been 9 special elections since the November races, Republicans have won 6.

So am I interpreting this correctly in that the Dems underperformed from the SC vote in 23vs25 even if they did better VS 24 gen election??

The biggest takeaway for me from these maps is the turnout change. Average of an increase of 28% turnout.
This is why voting scares republicans. When people vote, democrats win.

The only firm takeaway here is Democrats have lost ground in Wisconsin since 2023.
Concluding a bounce back from the 2024 Presidential election is methodologically wrong since the Supreme Court election is not partisan and the presidential election is a totally different context. Apples and oranges

lol so many political analyses written after the election are instantly outdated, America loves to swing wildly from party to party, yet political pundits were acting like 2024 was the death of the Democratic Party. We may just keep yo-yoing from party to party every 2/4 years, no one can say anything with certainty.

2023 Supreme Court and 2024 Presidential election data from [Wisconsin Election Commission](https://elections.wi.gov/wisconsin-county-election-websites), 2025 Supreme Court election data from [NYT](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/01/us/elections/results-wisconsin-supreme-court.html). I used ggplot2 in R to make the graph and added some annotations in Adobe Illustrator.
