MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A vote by the Republican-controlled Wisconsin Senate last month to fire the state's nonpartisan top elections official had no legal effect, and lawmakers are barred from ousting her while a lawsuit plays out, a Dane County judge ruled on Friday. Administrator Meagan Wolfe will continue serving as head of the Wisconsin Elections Commission pending a decision on whether elections commissioners are legally required to appoint someone for the Senate to confirm, Judge Ann Peacock said. They also asked Peacock to order the elections commission to appoint an administrator for the Senate to vote on. The bipartisan elections commission deadlocked in June on a vote to reappoint Wolfe.

☆ Senate Committee to Vote on Wisconsin's Top Elections Official as Republicans Look to Fire Her

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Senate's elections committee was set to vote Monday on the future of the battleground state's top elections official, clearing the way for the full Republican-controlled Senate to vote on firing her as soon as Thursday. Democrats have accused GOP leaders of improperly pushing through the confirmation process for nonpartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe after the commission's three Republicans and three Democrats deadlocked along party lines in a reappointment vote in June. Wolfe did not attend a public hearing the Senate elections committee held last month on her reappointment. That hearing attracted dozens of election skeptics who repeated widely debunked claims about the 2020 election and called for Wolfe to be fired or even arrested. Elections observers have raised concerns that firing Wolfe or disputing her position through the 2024 election could encourage election skeptics who have already harassed and threatened election officials over the 2020 election.
