Group submits signatures to recall Trump target Robin Vos in Wisconsin
The group said it had gathered the necessary amount of signatures from voters in Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' district in time for a recall petition deadline.
A group that's aiming to recall Robin Vos, the speaker of Wisconsin’s state Assembly and a top target of former President Donald Trump, said it has submitted the number of signatures needed to move forward with an effort to oust the Republican leader from office.
Recall Vos said it had gathered more than the nearly 7,000 required signatures from voters in Vos' district. The filing deadline for the recall effort is Monday.
"I carry with me the voice of more than 10,000 Racine County residents," the group's recall petitioner, Matt Snorek, said at a news conference outside the Wisconsin Election Commission shortly before it delivered the signatures. "Together we are challenging the status quo, driven by the numerous ways in which Speaker Robin Vos has failed us."
Riley Vetterkind, a spokesperson for the Wisconsin Elections Commission, confirmed that the group had submitted signatures but said that they had not yet been reviewed.
Members of the bipartisan commission are scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the recall petition. The six-member panel will decide whether the petition is sufficient to call for a recall election. An officeholder targeted by a recall effort can also challenge the petition within 10 days of its submission.
