“Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Thursday to fire the swing state’s top nonpartisan elections official, whose allies responded by saying the lawmakers didn’t have the power to oust her,” the Washington Post reports.
“The Democratic governor immediately called on the state’s attorney general to file a lawsuit so she can remain in her job.”
“The vote creates a dispute over who is in charge of overseeing elections in a state that is expected to play a critical role in next year’s presidential campaign and that may have to redraw its legislative districts within months.”
