Another court

decision that could impact the 2024 presidential election,

this time from the state Supreme Court in Wisconsin.

Our Lisa Dejahdan has more.

In a four to three decision the new liberal majority on Wisconsin

municipal clerks in advance of our August primary and the November election, so they

know how this will play out.
