Supreme Court race drives voter turnout in Wisconsin

More of your neighbors went to the polls for Tuesday's spring primary than in past years according to data from the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Voter turnout was approximately 20 percent among voting-age adults, far surpassing previous years when it hovered between 10 and 13 percent for the spring primary. A driving force of the primary was the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which narrowed the original field of four to two with Janet C. Protasiewicz and Daniel Kelly advancing to the April 4th general election. In Door County, 6930 votes were cast for Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates on Tuesday. That far surpasses the 3619 votes cast for Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates in 2020, a primary that took place before the pandemic's beginning. It was also more than double the votes cast in the primaries held in 2018 (3260) and 1016 (3310). You can find the final results from Tuesday's spring primary by clicking this link.
