Janet Protasiewicz speaks during her state Supreme Court swearing in ceremony at the Wisconsin Capitol on Aug. 1. Republicans for years have relied on highly gerrymandered districts to achieve what they could not in fair elections, but in related victories over the past two weeks, Wisconsin Democrats have beaten back attempts to subvert election results and to preserve free and fair elections.
He analogized the Democrats’ victory to the 2017 fight over the Affordable Care Act in Washington, when congressional Democrats beat back Republicans’ repeal effort, despite their overwhelming numbers. In other democracy-related news out of Wisconsin, Republicans have abandoned their attempt to fire the state’s elections commission administrator, Meagan Wolfe. “Attorneys for the Legislature’s top Republicans told a judge … that a September vote to fire Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Megan Wolfe was ‘symbolic,’ and that Wolfe is ‘lawfully holding over’ in that position despite her appointment expiring July 1,”on Oct. 16.
