Did WEC Staff Get B**ch-Slapped Hard Enough?

It's about damned time.

...A judge in Waukesha County last month ruled that the Elections Commission administrator, Meagan Wolfe, and her staff cannot issue guidance on their own.

“In their individual capacity neither Wolfe, nor Rydecki, nor any other WEC staffer has the authority to provide legal advice to municipal clerks or local election officials regarding compliance with Wisconsin Election laws,” Judge Michael Aprahamian said during a hearing on September 21. “In their official capacity, neither Wolfe nor Rydecki nor any other WEC staffer has any authority to provide legal advice or guidance regarding compliance with Wisconsin Election Law except as authorized by a majority vote of the Commission two-thirds vote.”...

Hmmmmm.  Given the track record of Wolfe, we doubt that she will comply with the order.  After all, what penalty will she pay?  What penalty has she paid?

This raises a question:  where the Hell was the Commission (6 members) while Wolfe was doing whatever she damn well pleased?  Don't any of them know the law?  Or are they all too damned lazy to do the job they're appointed to do?

Richards, the ultra-Lefty Chair-critter won't answer that question.  But someone should try forcing the matter with her.
