Meagan Wolfe wasn’t renominated because three WEC members abstained. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/08/29/election-conspiracists-testify-at-disputed-confirmation-hearing-for-wec-administrator/ “Despite the lack of four votes for Wolfe’s renomination, the Senate moved forward as if she’d been nominated, resulting in the hearing Tuesday. Wolfe did not attend, after Attorney General Josh Kaul wrote in a legal memo that the issue was not properly before the Senate.” #WisconsinElectionCommission #MeaganWolfe #danknodl #JoshKaul #wisconsinexaminer #Wisconsin #WorldOfCrazy

Despite multiple legal opinions stating they had no authority to do so, Wisconsin Senate Republicans went forward with the confirmation hearing of Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe on Tuesday. At the hearing, a parade of Wisconsin’s most prominent 2020 election deniers testified, sharing unfounded conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election for more than four hours. The 2020 election in Wisconsin was fair and accurate. Joe Biden’s win in the state has been affirmed by multiple reviews, recounts, investigations and lawsuits, yet that has not stopped conspiracies from taking hold in the state. #Wisconsin #Wisconsinpolitics #2020Election
