Meagan Wolfe wasn’t renominated because three WEC members abstained. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/08/29/election-conspiracists-testify-at-disputed-confirmation-hearing-for-wec-administrator/ “Despite the lack of four votes for Wolfe’s renomination, the Senate moved forward as if she’d been nominated, resulting in the hearing Tuesday.
