Over the last decade plus, the Koch Brothers have poured millions into Wisconsin elections, starting with the state supreme court. This was their worst defeat in a while.

Edit:
Walker stalled the special elections for an open Senate seat and an open Assembly seat, hoping to avoid losing them. (The GOP already lost a Senate seat in the Northwestern part of the state in a special election earlier this year.)

Those elections could have been held yesterday at near zero additional cost, but because of his tactics they now will be held in June. State law required such elections, but he and the other Republicans took the case to two courts to avoid compliance. By the time they lost, it was too late for Tuesday.
