Bitter Supreme Court race in final hours

Effects of the bitter Supreme Court race may linger well past Tuesday's election.
Justice Louis Butler and Burnett County Circuit Judge Michael Gableman both face complaints filed with the state's Judicial Commission as a result of the campaign to earn a 10-year seat on the bench.
Both candidates spent much of the campaign attempting to fend off attacks that came from third party groups. Those groups spent millions on the race that many observers characterized as the nastiest in state history.
