Steve Kornacki: Two very different parts of Wisconsin that will tell the story of the state Supreme Court election

Main Idea: Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election is likely to turn on turnout in two very different places, with President Donald Trump’s supporters in rural areas and Democrats in Dane County as the key forces.

Key Points:

• The race is officially nonpartisan, but both parties are treating it as a major political battle.
• Democrats have had an edge in low-turnout elections because their voters are more likely to show up in races like this.
• Dane County is a strong Democratic area with high turnout and a large number of college-educated voters.
• The Driftless Area is a rural, blue-collar region where Trump has strong support, but those voters have often skipped lower-profile races.
