Trump backers push forward on recall of Wisconsin GOP leader

MADISON, Wis. — 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 they’ve 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, they’ve said it loud and clear: they’re 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 group’s 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 Trump’s 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 Biden’s win and how he didn’t move forward with impeaching Wisconsin’s top elections official.

Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden by a similar margin of about 21,000 votes in 2020. The result has withstood two partial recounts, numerous lawsuits, an independent audit and a review by a conservative law firm.

“GOP leader” is an oxymoron.

"The name is Robin, and I'm a severe conservative. Got a problem"?

Climb back in your hole until you are sober. The GOP has plenty of leaders. For example, Rand Paul and DONALD TRUMP!

Vos is one of the ‘republicans’ that worked to make sure Trump lost the 2020 election...

Then worked to cover up or ignore any evidence of election fraud.

He had gableman investigate election fraud, and when gableman actually found fraud, worked to destroy gableman’s reputation

some of the many articles on wisconsin - not surprisingly, the stories on what gableman found don’t appear near the top of searches

He allowed the election to be stolen. I don’t call that very good.

This is my fear. We are playing with fire here. How many of those 10,000 signatures are Democrats, like Nikki Haley? Will this turn out like the George Santos fiasco? Instead of recalling Vos why not simply get Assembly Republicans to remove him from the Speaker position and elect someone else as Speaker?

I don’t have a good feeling about all this. How come Democrats never do this kind of stuff?

Vos will scrutinize signatures here but not for a Presidential election??????

One notes that your signup date is "post-steal". NTTAWWT.

Also it's "agitators", not "agiatators".

Well one is to keep himself and his minions in power and one was to remove Trump from power. See the difference?

Vos is just like that rat mole Speaker in Texas and ratburger in Georgia. All of them are Traitors and all are rat pretenders

If you are just recounting the same pile of tainted ballots of course the results stand. The validity of the ballots was not investigated. A large number of ballots magically appeared after midnight in the urban areas as always
