Democratic Primaries

As BTRTN notes: "Why are the Republicans being so stupidly intransigent, willing to put their own voters’ lives at risk by insisting the polls be open? Because there is another election on the ballot besides the presidential primary, and they want to win it. There is a conservative judge on the state supreme court up for reelection, and the GOP needs him there to uphold voting restrictions that could disenfranchise over 200,000 voters in Wisconsin in the fall, who are far more likely to be Democratic voters."

But I have to wonder whether it could backfire on them. Many rank-and-file voters of both parties don't pay much attention to elections for judges. Will enough GOPers come out just to vote for this supreme court judge since they aren't having a primary?
