Voters to Decide on Judge Whose Antigay Comments Made News

Maddow Explains Why Wisconsin Shouldn’t Re-Elect This Antigay Judge

See why a controversial judge got attention from both Clinton and Sanders as they campaigned in Wisconsin.

Scott Walker appointed her to the bench to finish the term of a judge who died, this is the first time voters express their view of whether she belongs there.
