9:17 AM: Butler, Gableman make final campaign push
Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler won editorial endorsements over the weekend from at least four newspaper editorial boards as he embarks this morning on an eight-city election eve campaign swing.
Butler started this morning at the Madison Concourse Hotel and also plans appearances in Waukesha, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Oshkosh, Green Bay and Eau Claire.
Challenger Michael Gableman, meanwhile, planned campaign stops in Wausau, Green Bay and Milwaukee.
Over the weekend, Butler got editorial support from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Kenosha News and newspapers in Manitowoc and Sheboygan. Butler had previously been endorsed by the Appleton Post-Crescent, Capital Times, Green Bay Press Gazette, La Crosse Tribune and Superior Telegram.
Gableman has been endorsed by the Beloit Daily News and Sun Prairie Star.
The Wisconsin State Journal endorsed neither candidate, instead pushing for merit selection of Supreme Court justices.
