Assistant Attorney General at the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Charlotte Gibson, filed a request to a judge asking for an order to block Republicans from removing Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe from her post as a lawsuit plays out.
Last month, Wisconsin Senate Republicans voted to remove a top election official in the state, attempting to change who oversees elections in the battleground state. The full Senate voted along party lines of 22-11 to fire Wolfe on Sept. 14, days after a Republican-led committee recommended her removal.
Multiple Republicans then moved to impeach Wolfe as Wisconsin's top election administrator at the end of September, which would need approval from Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to move forward. Last week, Vos said he would not move to impeach her, urging lawmakers to appoint a replacement if the court rules there is a vacancy.
