Kansas could move to judicial elections, like the one happening for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where Elon Musk and George Soros are spending money.

Kansas voters will decide in August 2026 whether to approve a constitutional amendment to elect state Supreme Court justices.

A question on the ballot next year will ask voters to amend the Constitution to set open elections. Republicans said it would empower Kansans, while Democrats argued it would politicize the judiciary.

Republican observers and other experts say Elon Musk's involvement in Brad Schimel's Wisconsin Supreme Court campaign backfired as a strategy.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump, sank millions into the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race and came up empty on Tuesday night. And his critics are overjoyed. Musk and Musk-aligned groups spent some $20 million to help conservative candidate Brad Schimel.

Susan Crawford, who led legal fights to protect union power and abortion rights and to oppose voter ID, defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that became a proxy fight for the nation’s political battles.

But Musk played right into Dems’ hands — plowing not just millions of dollars into the race in Wisconsin, but huge amounts of personal and political capital, making himself the most visible GOP campaigner on the election trail.

The priciest judicial contest in US history will indicate voter sentiment towards President Trump's billionaire ally.

Taking the stage in Green Bay wearing a yellow foam cheesehead hat, Elon Musk gave out $1 million checks on Sunday to two Wisconsin voters.
