The future for a top election official in Wisconsin remains uncertain after a Republican-led Wisconsin committee recommended Meagan Wolfe's removal ahead of a full Senate vote that could come this week.
The state Senate elections committee voted 3-1 along party lines against reappointing the nonpartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission administrator on Monday.Wolfe, who has led the agency since 2018, has been a target for Republican lawmakers following former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, where he and his GOP allies claimed he won in Wisconsin.
The GOP-led state Senate announced they would hold a vote regardless of the highest court’s ruling, with the removal recommendation on Monday indicating she’ll likely be fired as her confirmation is not expected to pass in the Senate. “I believe it is fair to say that no election in Wisconsin history has been as scrutinized, reviewed, investigated and reinvestigated as much as the November 2020 general election,” Wolfe wrote in June to legislators.
