Maria Lazar, who lost her bid for Wisconsin Supreme Court by a 20-point margin, discussed the loss with some reporters.

I think this was a race where we had incidents that happened — tornadoes, other things that happened — that just weren't leading towards a good opportunity for people in the state to get to know the candidates. And I think, maybe next race that they will ask for that. No, no, no — I think they will demand that. And when they do that, you will see a better race, better candidates, and you will see a better result.read more
