(Wisconsin Radio Network) The Wisconsin Elections Commission recommends criminal charges against more than thirteen people involved in a failed effort to recall Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

In a letter obtained by WisPolitics, WEC said it found probable cause that recall volunteers violated election fraud laws. Two allegedly listed false addresses on petition forms, and 11 are accused of turning in fraudulent voter signatures.

The findings have been forwarded to the Racine County District Attorney for review. The recall campaign came from supporters of Donald Trump, who criticized Vos for refusing to decertify Wisconsin’s 2020 presidential results.

Vos filed a complaint with the Elections Commission after several residents said they found their names forged on recall petitions. In a statement, Vos said he hopes the DA moves quickly to prosecute the individuals.
