TL;DR

Wisconsin Republicans in the Senate are attempting to force a vote on the reappointment of Megan Wolfe, the state's nonpartisan top elections official, before the 2024 presidential election. Democrats walked out in protest, objecting to the unscheduled vote. The move comes after Democrats on the Wisconsin Elections Commission tried to block the Senate from voting on Wolfe's confirmation.
