MADISON, WI (WRN) — The legislature’s Joint Audit Committee heard from Wisconsin’s chief elections officer on Wednesday.
Audit committee members’ questions of elections administrator Meagan Wolfe were generally respectful. But Representative John Macco (R-Green Bay) excoriated Wolfe and the Wisconsin Elections Commission
“I find it repugnant and insulting, for you to start a conversation that says you can’t speak for the team. First of all that you couldn’t even get together, and yet you could get together immediately after the Racine memo came out. You got your team together right there,” said Macco. “You guys couldn’t get together until December 1st. Well I hope you can all get in here sometime after that it it’s not inconvenient for you.”
Wolfe pointed out that only the chair of the six member, bipartisan commission can schedule a meeting.
“So I can’t force the commission to meet. I can’t schedule a meeting of the commission, I have no vote on the commission.”
Wolfe said she does expect the commissioners to consider all 30 recommendations made in a recent audit, during that December 1st meeting.
