Madison – Yesterday, State Senator Dan Knodl (R – Germantown) and Representative Ty Bodden (R – Hilbert) introduced legislation that would dissolve the Wisconsin Elections Commission and transfer all election responsibilities to the Secretary of State of Wisconsin. Senator Knodl released the following statement:
“It is clear the people of Wisconsin do not trust the Elections Commission to run honest and transparent elections. Even though WEC is the result of Republican legislation, I can honestly say that it has failed in its duties. When a government entity fails at doing its job I believe the public should have a remedy for change. Currently, the public has no such remedy.
“This legislation merely empowers an elected official that the public can hold accountable at the voting booth to run elections.”
