MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The same Democrat who led the Wisconsin Elections Commission during the contested 2020 presidential election will be back in the helm in the swing state this year. Ann Jacobs was unanimously elected by the bipartisan panel Monday. She was also the only commission member nominated to serve as chair. She will reprise the role she had from 2020 to 2022. The six-member commission administers and enforces Wisconsin election laws, but elections are run locally by more than 1,800 clerks in towns, villages, cities and counties. State law requires that the chair of the commission alternate between a Republican and a Democrat every two years.
