Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor has won a seat on the state Supreme Court, cementing the highest court’s liberal majority through the end of the decade.
The Associated Press called the race less than 40 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. With an estimated 43% of the vote counted just after 8:30 p.m., Taylor led fellow Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar by 20 points, or about 145,000 votes.
With Taylor’s win, the court will move to a 5-2 liberal majority
