CO-03: ADAM FRISCH
Some early news on this race - Rep. Boebert's closed-down grill is getting replaced with a Mexican restaurant. Is that news? Or related at all? Anyways...
Adam Frisch lost the 2022 congressional race by 546 votes! Did he try to throw out a whole section of votes that weighed heavily in Rep. Boebert's favor, dragging the election through the court system? Of course not! Adam conceded graciously and prepared for this run - and he has tremendous momentum.
Rep. Boebert winning with 50.06% of the 2022 vote makes her the easiest far-right Republican to unseat. More than that, the Colorado GOP experienced an "extinction level event" in the 2022 Midterms, as described by a former Colorado Republican representative.
Will Colorado's surging Blue Wave finally oust the election denier representing Colorado's 3rd district? Adam Frisch is our best bet. As a "conservative businessman" he can certainly appeal to voters that may have voted Red in past elections and get this done.

WISCONSIN STATE SUPREME COURT: JANET PROTASIEWICZ
Judge Janet Protasiewicz would rule impartially and fairly, enforcing the values of our democracy on the State Supreme Court (which is saying a lot in this post-J6 universe). The youth turnout in the primary (said to be record-breaking per NextGen America) is a good omen for upcoming elections.
This State Supreme Court election is being heralded as one of the most important elections this cycle; a test for democracy and abortion rights (PBS) that could have national implications all the way up to the Presidential election! Dramatic? Yes, and rightfully so, because it could be instrumental if the 2024 Presidential vote comes down to Wisconsin's electoral votes getting argued all the way up to the State Supreme Court - or if Trump or the Republican candidate tries to get legitimate ballots thrown out again in court. The recent wave of Republicans weaponizing litigation to push anti-voting agendas, as discussed by Democracy Docket, makes this all a real possibility that needs to be safeguarded against.
My rambling point is that fair election results are being redecided in courtrooms too often right now, and Judge Protasiewicz will be a needed defender of our democracy. The results of the Primary election are looking good with the direct numbers. Judge Protasiewicz received a healthy 46.5% of the vote compared to her Republican challenger who received 24.2%, from Politico. That sounds great for Dems, however:
the two Democrat candidates got 54.0% of the vote. The two Republican candidates got 46.0% of the vote.
This is an expensive and weird and fascinating race - replete with a dynastic beer family pouring millions of dollars into both sides of this race! And outside money is always a wild factor.
A lot can happen up to Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, so we'll see just how much of an impact this election has on the Presidential race. Flipping the Wisconsin court from Red to Blue would be significant - it's been about 15 years - and redistricted maps that are unjustly favoring Republicans could be reviewed and rebalanced. Archaic abortion laws can be reviewed too. This is unquestionably one to watch and one to support in every way possible, even considering the potential for national impact and the immediate relevance to women's rights, abortion rights, and voting rights.
