Senate committee schedules vote on Wisconsin's chief election officer
MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A Senate committee will vote Monday on the appointment of Wisconsin's chief election officer, a move that could ultimately leave the position vacant heading into a pivotal election year.
The Senate committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection will vote by paper ballot to reappoint Meagan Wolfe as administrator of the state elections commission.
The vote would advance her appointment to the Senate floor, which would give Republicans the opportunity to vote down her confirmation -- essentially firing her.
Last week, the committee held a public hearing on Wolfe to begin the nomination proceedings. Then, chairman on the committee, Rep. Dan Knodl, told CBS 58 he was undecided on scheduling a vote after suggesting concerns on how it could trigger a lawsuit in the ongoing dispute over Wolfe's future.
