The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has rejected an effort to force a recall election of the state’s top Republican after determining that not enough valid signatures were collected.
FILE - Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos speaks during an interview at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023. Vos on Friday, June 7, 2024, challenged signatures on petitions filed seeking an election to recall him from office, saying there were not enough valid ones. The vote by three Republican commissioners and one Democratic commissioner means Assembly Speaker Robin Vos will not have to stand for a recall election unless a court intervenes.
“Why should I ignore these 6,000 folks and their right to recall?” he said. “Haven’t they met their burden to at least get the vote?” “I disagree with the idea that we’re giving Rep. Vos a pass,” Millis said. “I feel very strongly that any signatures collected on May 27 and May 28 are not valid. I don’t think that we’re denying anyone’s right to recall. It certainly is a close call in terms of the number of signatures.”.” He did not appear at the meeting, but his attorney argued for not counting the signatures collected past the 60-day deadline.
