Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Says Effort to Recall Him Has Fallen Short Again

Wednesday, June 12th, 2024 -- 10:01 AM

(Bob Hague, Wisconsin Radio Network) Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says the effort to recall him has again fallen short.

According to Bob Hague with the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Speaker is up for reelection in November, but that fact hasn’t dissuaded recall organizers. The Wisconsin Elections Commission has until June 28 to determine whether there are enough valid signatures on a  second set of recall petitions.

The Commission previously rejected the first attempt to recall Vos for lacking enough valid signatures. Vos last week said he found thousands of invalid signatures, including many collected from outside of his current district, others that signed more than once and still others collected beyond the allowable time.

Vos also said recall organizers, who include former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman as well as supporters of former President Donald Trump, have misrepresented his record as a conservative and have even accused him of being a communist.
