The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that the state’s top election official can remain in the post past her term, dealing a setback to Republican lawmakers’ efforts to remove her.

In a unanimous decision on Friday, a panel of seven justices rejected an argument from Republican state lawmakers that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) must replace its longtime director, Meagan Wolfe, when her appointment expires.
