Madison – State Representative Chuck Wichgers circulated an Assembly resolution Tuesday focused on the issue of unregulated ballot drop boxes authorized by Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe and calling for her impeachment.
Rep. Wichgers issued the following statement:
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in the Teigen case (Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, July 8, 2022) that Wolfe and her staff erred by authorizing a voting method not sanctioned by law. The sanctity of the ballot box deserves the highest protection and Wolfe failed to give that protection by allowing unregulated drop boxes.
It is the duty of the Legislature to make sure that the laws and rules of the state are followed. If we do not do this job, then our role means nothing and unelected administrators are running our government.
Willfully and shamelessly endangering the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections is criminal. It is the responsibility of the Assembly and Senate together to rein in the WEC Administrator and ensure that Wisconsin elections are safe and secure. A vote on this matter needs to be scheduled at the first opportunity.
