DOGE head Elon Musk and voter registration activist Scott Presler are working overtime to motivate Republicans to turn out for a Supreme Court election in the key battleground state of Wisconsin with the GOP majority in the U.S. House literally at stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America PAC, a political action committee founded by SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to support President Donald Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign, is spending $1 million to back conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel\u2019s canvassing and field operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Musk-backed group, Building America\u2019s Future, purchased $1.5 million in commercials to support the conservative candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His opponent is liberal judge Susan Crawford, and whoever takes the race will decide the balance of power in the important swing state\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That matters because a Crawford victory means the court\u2019s current 4-3 liberal majority will remain intact and justices will likely approve a gerrymandering of the state\u2019s congressional districts that will cost Republicans at least two U.S. House seats, potentially flipping the chamber to Democrats in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state is split between a Democrat governor and a Republican legislature, so the Supreme Court \u201cis the center of the action,\u201d University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Barry Burden told<\/a> CNN last month. \u201cIt\u2019s become a place where a lot of hot-button issues people care about get decided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Presler \u2014 who has been credited with helping flip Pennsylvania red during the last election cycle by registering tens of thousands of new Republican voters \u2014 is warning that there could be a repeat of a blowout 2023 election in the state in which liberal-leaning Janet Protasiewicz beat conservative candidate Dan Kelly and flipped the balance of the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI tried to warn people in 2023, and here is what I\u2019m saying now: if Wisconsinites don\u2019t pay attention to this race, history is going to repeat itself, and you\u2019re going to have this court stay under Democrat control,\u201d Presler told<\/a> Breitbart News on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election is April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presler, whose organization Early Vote Action focuses on registering Republicans and promoting early voting in key swing states, has been actively highlighting the significance of the upcoming race online. He announced plans to travel to Wisconsin for two weeks, dedicating his efforts to securing a victory in the Supreme Court election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is no party affiliation on the court, but we all can read in between the lines,\u201d Presler said, calling Crawford a \u201cradical, rabid leftist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presler emphasized that one of the biggest stakes in the race is the potential for Democrats to gerrymander legislative districts if Crawford wins, potentially flipping two U.S. House seats currently held by Republicans. The districts in question include Rep. Bryan Steil\u2019s (R-WI) 1st Congressional District in southeastern Wisconsin and Rep. Derrick Van Orden\u2019s (R-WI) 3rd Congressional District in the western part of the battleground state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just the Wisconsin Supreme Court,\u201d Presler told Breitbart. \u201cIt\u2019s potentially taking the House majority away from Republicans, therefore stalling President Trump and taking away his ability to govern and legislate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk has also recognized the significance of the race as well as Presler\u2019s efforts. \u201cThis is important,\u201d he noted in a tweet Feb. 27 regarding the contest and the GOP activist\u2019s work to flip the court seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
