Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu
Election rules in Wisconsin are becoming a continuing issue.
Senate Majority leader Devin LeMahieu, an Oostburg Republican who represents portions of Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Calumet Counties stepped into the issue yesterday afternoon with a news release saying “Follow state law, not your own guidance.”
His statement says the Wisconsin Elections Commission submitted overly broad guidance as an emergency rule instead of basing a new rule on the clear underlying statute.
LeMahieu says “We’ve seen what election officials have done when given an inch of latitude when administering election laws. No more. We need clear, unambiguous rules to come through the legislative rulemaking process.”
