I want to read from the Washington Post. It's been writing about this. They said two years ago, Liberals gained a 4:3 majority on the court after 15 years of conservative control. They threw out legislative maps that gave Republicans commanding majorities in the state House, reinstated the use of absentee ballot drop boxes, and accepted cases that will decide whether abortion remains legal in the state. (41:14–41:19)

CLAIM

Asserts that liberals gained a 4:3 majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court after 15 years of conservative control.
