NBC News nation

Key Points:

  • Wisconsin voters are deciding a state Supreme Court race between Democrat-backed Chris Taylor and Republican-backed Maria Lazar, with Taylor aiming to expand the liberal majority on the court from 4-2 to 5-2.
  • Taylor has a fundraising advantage and has focused her campaign on reproductive rights and economic issues, while Lazar emphasizes judicial independence and her anti-abortion stance.
  • Democrats are optimistic due to recent winning streaks in statewide races and high disapproval of Trump in Wisconsin, with endorsements from figures like Barack Obama and Eric Holder boosting Taylor.
  • In Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris face a runoff to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene’s seat, with Fuller favored due to the district’s strong Republican lean and his Trump endorsement.
  • The winner in Georgia will serve the remainder of Greene’s term and both candidates plan to run in the upcoming regular elections; polls close at 7 p.m. ET in Georgia and 9 p.m. ET in Wisconsin.
