The complainants may face an uphill battle with a Wisconsin Elections Commission led by a highly partisan chairwoman appointed by Democrats. And Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe was not only aware of the left-leaning groups involved in the elections in Green Bay and Milwaukee, she promoted them to other elections officials.

“The WEC administrator’s involvement raises serious doubts regarding the objectivity of the commission in conducting an investigation,” stated Kaardal, adding that Wolfe should recuse herself from any investigation the commission may conduct. “Fairness, openness, and a thorough review by WEC are necessary, and Ms. Wolfe has demonstrated her hostility to such an approach.”
