This lawsuit raises significant questions about election security, legal standing, and constitutional claims.
The plaintiffs, McCole and Merten, seem to be arguing that Wisconsin’s MyVote system is vulnerable to manipulation, but similar claims in a previous lawsuit were dismissed.
Attorney General Joshua Kaul’s position that Wolfe cannot be sued adds another layer of legal complexity.
Meanwhile, Wolfe’s reliance on Eleventh Amendment immunity is a common defense for state agencies, reinforcing that private citizens generally cannot sue states in federal court without consent.
If the case is dismissed again, it could reaffirm the state’s position that MyVote is secure and that the allegations lack merit.
