9-15-23 republican-led wisconsin senate votes to fire state’s nonpartisan top elections official

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Senate has voted to fire the state’s top elections official as misinformation about the 2020 presidential contest continues to influence elections administration in the battleground state. Democrats say the vote on Thursday to oust nonpartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe was held improperly, and the fight is likely to end in a legal battle. Without a clear answer on who will lead the elections agency, Wisconsin’s more than 1,800 local clerks face greater instability ahead of the 2024 presidential race.
