'[The] results don't tell us how many people were exposed to coronavirus at polling places, how many were infected, or how many will die,' said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler.
In a statement published on Twitter on Monday, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler celebrated Karofsky's victory, but admonished Republicans for pushing back against bids to postpone or extend voting for the state's primary election.
"Despite the GOP's savage and shameful attempt to suppress votes and steal Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Judge Jill Karofsky prevailed. It's a victory for justice and democracy in an election that should never have taken place in person," Wikler said. Wikler said that while he and his party were"grateful to Judge Jill Karofsky for stepping up to run in a very difficult race against a relentless GOP machine, and congratulate her on the hard-earned win," the"fact that this in-person election took place was a searing loss for Wisconsin."
"Today's results don't tell us how many people were exposed to coronavirus at polling places, how many were infected, or how many will die. Had justice prevailed, those numbers would have been zero. No one should ever have to choose between their health and their vote, yet Republicans chose to prioritize their own political gain over actual human lives. Wisconsin voters will not forget this travesty." Wikler said.
STATEMENT: Tonight, despite the GOPâs savage attempt to suppress votes and steal Wisconsinâs Supreme Court election, Judge Jill Karofsky prevailed. In an election that should never have taken place in person, itâs a victory for justiceâand democracy.
