MADISON, Wisconsin: On October 28, the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a 4-3 vote adopted rules that allow judges to hear cases that involve donors to their campaigns.[1]

The Wisconsin court took a look at its recusal rules in the wake of a June decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that said elected judges must step aside from cases that involve large campaign donors.
