Wisconsin Supreme Court hearing case targeting swing state’s top elections administrator

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court is hearing arguments that could determine whether the swing state’s top elections official, who has been the target of disproven Republican election conspiracy theories, remains in her post. Republicans who control the state Senate tried to fire Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe last year, leading the commission to sue in an effort to keep Wolfe in the job. The commission plans to argue before the state Supreme Court on Monday that it should uphold a lower court’s ruling in Wolfe’s favor. But Republican lawmakers argue the commission must vote on appointing an administrator.
