For the second time, Sarah Palin is weighing in on a major Wisconsin election. The former Republican governor of Alaska is endorsing incumbent David Prosser in Tuesday’s contest for the State Supreme Court.

Prosser is running against Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg – and a Prosser victory would continue a 4-3 conservative majority on the state’s highest court. Palin announced her support for Prosser on Twitter this morning. It comes a day after Prosser lost one of his honorary campaign co-chairs, as former Democratic Governor Pat Lucey decided to back Kloppenburg instead.

Last year, Palin ruffled feathers by endorsing prosecutor Sean Duffy over another Republican primary candidate in the race for the north central Wisconsin U.S. House seat. Duffy won that seat last November.
