TL;DR Summary

Wisconsin's Assembly GOP majority leader dismissed a Republican attempt to impeach the state's top elections official, Meagan Wolfe, as a "big show for the cameras," stating that the proposal lacks support. The impeachment effort, led by state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, has faced resistance within the party, with only five co-sponsors as of Thursday. Wolfe, the administrator of elections, has been targeted by Republicans over her handling of the 2020 election, but she has vowed to remain in her position. The Assembly can only vote to impeach state officials for corrupt conduct or committing a crime, and the case would then move to a Senate trial requiring a two-thirds vote for conviction.
