“Meagan Wolfe is the chief elections officer for the state of Wisconsin. I have no interest in babysitting who she speaks to,” stated Democratic Commissioner Ann Jacobs.

The compensation’s choice came in spite of partial differences regarding the authenticity of the Senate’s activities.

But Don Millis, the Republican chair of the compensation, said that if Wolfe falls short to show up, it can aggravate the currently stressful circumstance.

“They’re probably going to hold a hearing anyway,” he stated. “We’ve already seen what’s happened when we didn’t approve her nomination with four votes. I think that turned out very badly.”

The Senate has actually not yet established a day for the board hearing on Wolfe’s reappointment, as well as Wolfe did not state at Wednesday’s conference whether she will certainly show up when a day has actually been established.
