Wolfe has defended herself, claiming that she followed the orders of the bipartisan commissioners and that Wisconsin’s elections are conducted with integrity.
Despite the impeachment attempt, Wolfe remains determined to manage the next presidential election, even without Republican support.
Claims of Maladministration
The resolution accuses Wolfe of allowing election workers and non-profit employees to correct absentee voter errors, a duty reserved for voters themselves according to state law.
It also alleges that Wolfe failed to establish a verification system to prevent fraudulent absentee ballot applications and allowed partisan out-of-state residents to administer Wisconsin’s elections.
Follow the Money
The resolution raises concerns about grant money awarded to Wisconsin cities by the left-leaning NGO Center for Tech and Civic Life, funded by Mark Zuckerberg. The funds were intended for safe elections during the pandemic, but critics question their use and transparency.
A Breach of Trust
Wolfe’s recommendation of Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, a Democrat activist, to oversee aspects of the election in Green Bay is highlighted as a betrayal of trust. Spitzer-Rubenstein allegedly made decisions that favored certain voters and had control over critical information.
Mishandling of Actual Ballots
The resolution accuses Wolfe of mishandling absentee ballot applications and allowing the circumvention of Wisconsin’s proof of identification laws. It also points out that WEC lacks the legal authority to receive absentee ballot applications.
A Rolling Polling Place
Wolfe is accused of allowing the use of a mobile polling place in Racine that violated accessibility requirements. The resolution claims that the RV was used to favor certain voters.
Inflated Voter Rolls
The resolution alleges that Wolfe failed to remove ineligible names from the state voter roll, resulting in a significant discrepancy between the number of eligible voters and the number of names on the roll. This practice raises concerns about potential voter fraud.
Nosey Questions
The final article accuses Wolfe of promoting the use of a voter registration form that solicits more information than authorized by Wisconsin law. A court has already ruled against the form, deeming it non-compliant.
The resolution concludes by initiating Wolfe’s impeachment and calling for substantial reform or dissolution of the WEC.

Dulent voters from casting multiple ballots. The resolution claims that this failure led to the potential for voter fraud and compromised the integrity of the election process.
Furthermore, the resolution accuses Wolfe of not properly updating the voter registration system, resulting in outdated information and the possibility of deceased individuals being included in the voter rolls. This alleged negligence creates opportunities for ineligible individuals to vote and undermines the credibility of the election.
The resolution also raises concerns about the use of ballot drop boxes, arguing that Wolfe implemented policies that allowed for the collection and submission of ballots outside the legal parameters set forth by the state. This, according to the resolution, created an avenue for illegal activities and undermined the principle of one person, one vote.
Additionally, the resolution alleges that Wolfe failed to properly train election workers and neglected to enforce adequate security measures. It claims that this lack of oversight and preparation increases the risk of tampering and manipulation of the election results.
Wolfe’s Defense
In response to these allegations, Meagan Wolfe defends herself by stating that she followed the directives of the bipartisan commissioners and that all her actions were in accordance with state laws and regulations. She emphasizes that she was committed to conducting fair and transparent elections and maintaining the integrity of the process.
Wolfe further argues that these impeachment attempts are politically motivated, aiming to discredit her and undermine the democratic process. She highlights that Wisconsin’s elections, including the 2020 election, were conducted with integrity, evidenced by the fact that multiple courts have affirmed the legality of the WEC’s actions.
Future Outlook
Despite facing impeachment calls and potential removal from office, Meagan Wolfe remains determined to oversee the management of the next presidential election in Wisconsin, even without the support of Republicans. She reiterates her commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and ensuring that every eligible voter’s voice is heard.
Conclusion
The controversy surrounding Meagan Wolfe and the Wisconsin Election Commission highlights the ongoing partisan tensions and suspicions surrounding the 2020 election. While lawmakers and critics accuse Wolfe of maladministration and violating state law, she maintains her innocence and defends her actions as necessary for conducting fair elections. As the calls for impeachment persist, the future of Wolfe’s tenure and the credibility of Wisconsin’s election process remain uncertain.
