Wisconsin Residents Cast Votes In Contested State Supreme Court Race 
---------------------------------------------------------------------



In Wisconsin, voters are heading to the polls today in a closely watched
race for a seat on the state supreme court. Many have categorized
today's election as a referendum on Republican Governor Scott Walker
anti-union agenda. The race pits incumbent state Supreme Court Justice
David Prosser, a conservative, against Jo Anne Kloppenburg, an assistant
attorney general who has received the support of the state's unions.
