Little has irritated sports fans as much as the most recent AFC Championship activity, when the Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in a row over two dubious accusations. After centuries of being questioned, it is widely believed that the division requires its officials to give the Chiefs every contact. Conspiracy theories and jokes about a rigged NFL are prevalent.
This is foolishness, of training, but think if an email inviting high-profile Chiefs viewers to a secret conference with head coach Andy Reid, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, his mind of presiding, and Taylor Swift was uncovered. Imagine if the email’s subject line read,” Chance to put the Super Bowl in play in 2025.”
Now imagine that email was real, and it wasn’t about rigging football games, but congressional elections. In Wisconsin, the state Democrat Party is blatantly using this April’s State Supreme Court race to gerrymander Republican Wisconsin Representatives Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden out of their seats in the midterm elections of 2026.
With a razor-thin 218-215 GOP majority, this plot could hand Democrats the House and with it the ability to stop President Trump’s agenda and impeach him for a third time.
The New York Times unintentionally dropped a bombshell last week about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race between conservatives Brad Schimel and Susan Crawford, which will determine court ideology in a pivotal swing state.
A “donor advisers briefing” with the topic line” Chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026″ was held by Crawford, a far-left circuit court judge, and Wisconsin Democrat Party Chairman Ben Wikler ( who just finished second in the contest for national Dem chair ).
As if that weren’t clear enough, the email laid out their intentions clearly:
After Janet Protasiewicz was elected to the WI Supreme Court in an April 2023 election, the new pro-democracy majority struck down Wisconsin’s super-gerrymandered state legislative districts. In 2024, Democrats gained 14 state legislative seats, giving them the opportunity to win chamber control in 2026. One of the judges who make up the pro-democracy majority is retiring, giving the WI Supreme Court another chance to take control. …
In addition, winning this election might give Democrats the opportunity to win two more US House seats, the majority of which will be needed in 2026.
 , In addition, the briefing was arranged by aides for megadonor , Reid Hoffman, who has given nearly$ 15 million to Wisconsin Democrats in recent years. Eric Holder, the former head of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, will also be running for Crawford in Wisconsin.
If Crawford wins, she will vote to force the redrawing of Wisconsin’s congressional maps, which will encourage more Democrats to enter the two most contentious districts, causing Steil and Van Orden to lose next year.
Those maps were created after the 2020 census and Democrat Governor signed them into law. Tony Evers, were approved by both the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court, but that doesn’t matter much to Democrats.
As they boasted in their email, they used 2023’s Supreme Court election, which gave leftists control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the first time in 15 years, to strike down the state’s legislative maps. Leftist organizations filed a lawsuit challenging those maps the day after Protasiewicz was sworn in, and the new leftist majority dutifully overturned them that December.
The Republican-controlled legislature, fearing that the court would draw its own, reluctantly agreed to adopt Evers ‘ maps. Republicans lost 10 seats in the Wisconsin Assembly and four in the Senate in 2024 despite Donald Trump winning the state.
Now Democrats are planning to do the same thing to Wisconsin’s GOP congressional coalition. Only two of the state’s eight districts are considered competitive, and both just happen to be represented by Republicans. Steil, the chairman of the House Administrative Committee, won reelection in both 2022 and 2024 with identical 54 percent vote shares. Van Orden, a moderate who won over 25 years of Democratic control of his district in 2022, received 51 % of the vote in both of his reelection campaigns.
Democrats believe that they can remove the current congressional maps and replace them with ones that would make it impossible for Van Orden or Steil ( or any other Republican in their districts ) to win another race more than halfway through the decade. All they need to do is convince their big-money donors like Hoffman to support the installation of a justice who will rubber-stamp gerrymandered maps created by Holder’s redistricting group for a new Supreme Court election.
Democrats would essentially reclaim two of the four House seats needed by 2026, and this would make Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race the most significant by far in 2025.
Leftists took control of the court system two years ago by nationalizing the race as a referendum on abortion and bringing in so much state funding that the election was by far the most expensive judicial contest in American history. A Cra ford victo y this ear is bel victory.
Conservatives need to acknowledge it for what it is and stop it before it’s too late because it is as shameless as it is corrupt.
