GOP-led Wisconsin Senate votes to fire nonpartisan official targeted by 2020 election skeptics

The Wisconsin Senate has voted to fire the state’s top elections official as misinformation about the 2020 election influences election administration in the battleground state. Democrats say the vote on Thursday to oust the nonpartisan elections commission administrator was held improperly, and the state's Democratic attorney general has sued. The official has been the target of conspiracy theories and threats from election skeptics. GOP leaders cited concerns from those skeptics in justifying the vote along party lines. Biden defeated Trump by nearly 21,000 votes in Wisconsin in 2020. The outcome that withstood recounts and audits. With its election leadership in limbo, Wisconsin faces uncertainty ahead of the 2024 presidential race.
