Can a Democrat win in Wisconsin's GOP gerrymandered 8th Senate District?

 
The district includes the liberal North Shore suburbs in Milwaukee County, increasingly purple areas in Ozaukee and Waukesha counties, and a big slab of red meat in ultra-conservative Washington County.  

Darling won by 8.5 percentage points in 2020, with a comfortable 10,000+ vote margin.  

Best scenario for Democrats:  ultra-conservative election denier from Washington County wins the GOP primary.

Based on this language in the state statutes, it's likely that Governor Evers will call a special election that coincides with the spring elections.
