The same Democrat who led the Wisconsin Elections Commission during the contested 2020 presidential election will be back in the helm in the swing state this year
after being unanimously elected Monday by the bipartisan panel. Ann Jacobs was the only commission member nominated to serve as chair, reprising the role she had from 2020 to 2022. The unanimous vote included one from a Republican commissioner who attempted to cast Wisconsin's electoral votes for Donald Trump in 2020 even though he lost the state.
Following the 2022 midterm election, then-chair Republican Don Millis certified the statewide results in a matter of minutes. However, in 2020 Republican supporters of Trump attempted to slow down the certification of President Joe Biden's victory. Republicans that year called on Jacobs to resign after she certified the results even as Trump lawsuits challenging the election were pending.
