Brad Schimel , a conservative-backed conservative, concedes Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

His concession stands out at a time when the nation’s politics have opened a fissure between those who trust election results and those who don’t.

By acknowledging his loss quickly, he curtailed the kind of explanation-seeking and digital digging that erupted online after President Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.

At Schimel ’s watch party, several supporters applauded his high road.

“He was all class,” said Russell Jones , a 51-year-old attorney.

The moment is a good example for future candidates, said Ari Mittleman , executive director of the Wisconsin -based nonprofit Keep Our Republic .
