More than a year after Donald Trump's loss, Wisconsin Republicans wage relentless attacks on the state's election commission

Threats of felony charges and talk of a Republican takeover of the election system point to political warfare in Wisconsin, a key political battleground.
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson has publicly urged fellow Republicans who control the Wisconsin Legislature to take over the running of federal elections in the state and direct local officials to ignore election guidance issued by the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
His push, first reported by The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, comes after a Republican sheriff in Racine County called for five members of the state's six-member election commission to be charged with felonies because they waived a requirement to send poll workers into nursing homes during the pandemic. On Monday, Rebecca Kleefisch, a Republican running for governor, asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to find that the commission's election guidance runs counter to state law.
