Wisconsin Supreme Court Reviews Elections Chief's Holdover Status

A ruling on Meagan Wolfe's position could redefine election oversight in the battleground state.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is considering whether Meagan Wolfe can continue as the state's top elections official without Senate confirmation.
Wolfe has faced Republican efforts to remove her, citing alleged violations of state law and her role in the 2020 election.
A previous court ruling allowed Wolfe to remain in her position as a holdover, despite the expiration of her term.
The case hinges on a 2022 precedent involving a Republican appointee who stayed in office past his term, which Democrats argue supports Wolfe's position.
The court's decision, expected in the coming weeks, could impact how election administration is managed in Wisconsin.
