MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Voters have begun casting ballots in person in Wisconsin’s high stakes state Supreme Court race. In-person voting for the April 4 contest began Tuesday, hours before the two candidates were slated to meet for their only debate before election day. Democratic-backed Janet Protasiewicz and Republican-backed Dan Kelly have been urging their supporters to vote early during the period that runs through April 2. The winner will determine majority control of the court, with issues including abortion access, legislative redistricting, voting rights at stake. The contest has already broken national spending records for a state Supreme Court race, with the two sides having spent at least $22 million to date.
