After a see-saw night that saw both David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg trade the lead in the Wisconsin state Supreme Court election, the race is almost certainly headed to a recount.

On Friday, Judge Maryann Sumi delayed for at least two months the implementation of the anti-union law in Wisconsin that would strip most collective bargaining rights from public employees. Sumi is ruling on whether the conference committee for the bill violated state open meetings requirements. In addition, Madison-area unions have filed suit over whether or not the bill passed had fiscal elements, meaning it would require a quorum of state Senators to consider it, which it did not receive. And a third lawsuit, filed late last week, alleges that the legislation is unconstitutional, “infringing on employees’ equal protection rights and their rights to freedom of speech and association.” You can read the complaint here. And that may not even be the last lawsuit against this legislation.

On a separate track from the legal challenges, you have the electoral payback that Democrats and labor unions are trying to exact on Republicans in the state. And tomorrow will be the first test of this.

This is GOTV weekend for the state Supreme Court race in Wisconsin, and there are a number of developments in this race that can be credibly seen as a test of the level of opposition to Scott Walker’s extreme agenda.

A lot of polls have come out in the past couple days showing Scott Walker’s rising unfavorables in Wisconsin. But Walker won’t be on the ballot anytime soon. Just a week from tomorrow, Wisconsin voters will go to the polls in another statewide race for the state Supreme Court.

Everyone’s having a laugh about Randy Hopper’s wife joining the recall against him, thanks to his marital indiscretions. And that’s practically poetic. However, there are also serious implications. First of all, if Hopper isn’t living in the district and instead with his mistress in Madison, as his wife apparently alleged, that’s a violation of state law. Second, there is at least some speculation that Hopper could resign the seat before a recall election could take effect, giving a successor a better opportunity to retain the seat for Republicans.
