| Description | The head of a watchdog group called it “one of the most grotesque abuses of power that has occurred in Wisconsin in its history.”
Wisconsin Republicans voted Tuesday to remove the state’s top election and ethics officials, despite looming state and federal elections.
Led by Republicans in a vote along party lines, the state Senate voted to oust Ethics Administrator Brian Bell and Elections Administrator Michael Haas from their respective roles by denying to confirm them on a permanent basis. Both men did not get a customary public hearing before the vote. |
