MADISON, Wis. (AP) Backers of an effort to oust Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos from office over his opposition to former President Donald Trump announced Sunday that theyve collected enough signatures to force a recall vote.
Supporters of the recall campaign plan to present signatures Monday to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, saying they have more than the required 6,850 signatures from voters in Vos southeast Wisconsin district. With more than 10,000 signatures on our recall petition, theyve said it loud and clear: theyre tired of the status quo and demand new representation, Matt Snorek, who started the campaign in January, said in a statement.
Vos has dismissed the recall attempt as a waste of time and resources, which he reiterated in a statement Sunday. He questioned the groups tactics and the validity of the signatures, promising that a team he had assembled would evaluate each individual signature.
The recall effort targeting him highlights continued frustration among Trumps supporters in battleground Wisconsin over his loss in the 2020 election and how Vos responded to it. That includes how Vos refused attempts from Trump and his supporters to decertify Bidens win and how he didnt move forward with impeaching Wisconsins top elections official.

(27 posts)They want to place some Trump lacky in place before the election. Wisconsin should allow this. Recalls should be much harder to achieve than this.
