Background
Dane County is the second most populous county in Wisconsin and its most reliably Democratic, anchored by Madison, the state capital and home to the University of Wisconsin. It consistently delivers some of the largest Democratic margins in statewide Wisconsin races.
In the context of the April 2026 Wisconsin Supreme Court election, Dane County was part of the geographic story of Chris Taylor's approximately 20-point win: while Taylor flipped 29 Trump-voting counties, her landslide margins in Milwaukee and Dane County provided the numerical cushion that made the statewide margin so large.
