The top elections official in Milwaukee County was removed from her post Monday, an unexpected shakeup in the most populous county in battleground Wisconsin six months before Election Day. A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said Monday that Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall would be replaced by her deputy, Paulina Gutierrez, citing “internal” issues within the commission. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel first reported the news of Woodall’s ouster.

And Milwaukee — a Democratic stronghold where Trump allies falsely portrayed slow counting of mail ballots as a sign of fraud in 2020 — was at the center of the drama in each of those elections. Wisconsin has already lagged behind other swing states in shoring up election policies following 2020 chaos. Election workers and watchdogs in the state have expressed concerns that the same loopholes exploited by Trump allies to try to overturn the election results that year still exist in Wisconsin.
