Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., told Newsmax Tuesday that "we're scared to death" that liberal Susan Crawford could be elected to the Wisconsin state Supreme Court.
Grothman told "Newsline" that Crawford would be supportive of gerrymandering to increase Democratic congressional districts while decreasing Republican stronghold districts to give Democrats the edge in control of the U.S. House. "Oh, absolutely. Normally, congressmen stay there for two full years. But there's a real danger that if Susan Crawford wins, she's going to order new races quickly.
"Not to mention, historically, Milwaukee has always had one district. She might divide it into two districts or divide Madison into two districts, which would be ridiculous."
Grothman added there are indications that Crawford might help initiate the elimination of photo IDs used in that state for voting certification. "I think we're scared to death that if she would win the race, we'd get rid of Wisconsin's voter ID law, and then we have to put up with cheating in the elections."
Grothman said conservative Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel's record is tough on crime. "Brad Schimel has been a longtime attorney general and judge in Waukesha County, a more conservative county. So for people who are concerned about crime, there's no question. Brad Schimel is your pick."
