Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul said in a lawsuit that Senate Republicans don’t have the authority to oust Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe and accused them of attacking the state’s elections.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers said the Republican-controlled state Legislature ‘cannot be trusted to appoint or oversee someone charged with drawing fair maps.’
Republican lawmakers plan to spend up to $1.8 million in taxpayer money to defend the state’s gerrymandered maps.
‘The map issue is really kind of easy, actually,’ Justice Janet Protasiewicz said during a candidate debate. ‘I don’t think anybody thinks those maps are fair. Anybody.’
Republican state lawmakers are furious.
