Supporters of former President Donald Trump, including a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, say they have submitted more than 9,000 signatures in an effort to force a recall election of Wisconsin’s top elected Republican.
Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, right, joins with other supporters of former President Donald Trump to deliver petition signatures seeking to recall Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos from office, Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in Madison, Wis.
In March, the group submitted more than 9,000 signatures but of those the elections commission determined that only 5,905 were valid. Vos has 10 days to challenge the signatures on any number of grounds, including that a person signed more than once, signed someone else’s name or doesn’t live in the legislative district. He can also challenge if he believes the person circulating the petition misled the signer about its intent or if a signature was not collected during the allowable circulation period.to determine if the petition has enough valid signatures, which can be appealed in court.
That could potentially create a scenario in which recall elections or the recall primary, are decided a week before Vos appears on the Aug. 13 primary ballot as a candidate for a new two-year term as speaker starting in January.
