"Effort to Recall Wisconsin GOP Assembly Leader Gains Momentum with Signature Submission"

Supporters of former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin have submitted petitions to force a recall election targeting Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who refused to impeach the state's top elections official and did not back efforts to decertify President Joe Biden's narrow win in 2020. Vos has vowed to fight the validity of the signatures, and the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission will determine if there are enough valid signatures to trigger a recall election. If successful, the recall election would likely take place between late April and late May.

"Rapid Changes Ordered for Wisconsin Absentee Ballot Rules"

A Wisconsin judge has ordered the state elections commission to implement a ruling allowing election clerks to accept absentee ballots with partial witness addresses, potentially expanding the number of counted ballots in the battleground state. The ruling comes amid ongoing legal battles over absentee ballot rules, with the judge emphasizing the need to move quickly ahead of upcoming local and presidential elections. The decision is expected to impact the handling of absentee ballots in Wisconsin's upcoming elections, with potential implications for ballot curing practices and the acceptance of ballots with missing witness address information.

Wisconsin Elections Commission Denies Complaint Against Trump's Fake Electors Again

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has unanimously rejected a complaint for a second time against fake presidential electors who attempted to cast the state's ballots for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The commission's decision, made in closed meetings, comes after a judge ordered a rehearing of the complaint. Last year, the commission attached a letter from the Wisconsin Department of Justice stating that Republicans who attempted to cast the state's electoral college votes for Trump did not break any election laws. The fake electors settled a lawsuit filed against them by Democrats, but the case is still proceeding against two of Trump's attorneys.

"Controversy Surrounding Fake Trump Elector Rocks Wisconsin Elections Commission"

Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski is calling for the removal of Republican Robert Spindell Jr. from the state elections commission after he admitted to being a fake elector for former President Trump in an effort to overturn the 2020 election. Godlewski sent a letter to state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu urging him to take action, citing Spindell's fraudulent actions and lack of respect for the law. Spindell was one of the 10 Wisconsin fake Trump electors who settled a lawsuit last week, agreeing not to serve as electors in the future and to cooperate with ongoing investigations.

"Wisconsin Secretary of State Demands Removal of Fake Trump Elector from Elections Commission"

Wisconsin's Democratic Secretary of State, Sarah Godlewski, is calling for the removal of Republican Bob Spindell from his position on the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Spindell was one of 10 Republicans who signed certificates falsely stating that Donald Trump had won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election. However, a legal settlement was reached last week in which Spindell and the other fake electors conceded that Joe Biden had won the state and agreed not to serve as electors again. Godlewski cited Spindell's fraudulent actions as reasons for his removal and called him unfit for the position.

Wisconsin fake electors complaint to be reheard by judge.

A Wisconsin judge has ordered the state elections commission to reconsider a complaint filed against fake Republican electors who attempted to cast the state's electoral ballots for former President Donald Trump in 2020. The commission must consider the complaint without the participation of one of its six commissioners who was also one of the fake electors. The complaint alleged that Republicans illegally posed as Wisconsin electors in an attempt to convince the U.S. Congress to declare that Trump won the state in 2020, even though he lost to President Joe Biden by about 21,000 votes.
