Wisconsin GOP Leader Faces Second Recall After Clashing with Trump

Supporters of former President Donald Trump have submitted over 9,000 signatures in a second attempt to force a recall election of Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who angered Trump by refusing to impeach the state's top elections official. The Wisconsin Elections Commission must verify if there are enough valid signatures to trigger the recall. Vos has criticized the effort, alleging election fraud, and has 10 days to challenge the signatures. If validated, a recall election could be scheduled for August, just before the regular fall primary.

"Michael Gableman Provides Legal Support for Ousting Robin Vos"

Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who previously led a review of the 2020 election, is now representing a group seeking to recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. The group's first recall effort was rejected due to a lack of valid signatures, and they are now making a second attempt. Gableman accused the first recall effort of being "sabotaged" and suggested potential involvement by Vos, without providing evidence. The recall organizers have been accused of employing circulators who forged signatures, and the Racine County District Attorney is investigating nearly 30 complaints of forged signatures. Vos, who hired Gableman to review the 2020 election, did not immediately respond to the accusations.

"Recall Effort Against Wisconsin GOP Leader Robin Vos Fails"

Supporters of former President Donald Trump's attempt to recall Wisconsin's top elected Republican, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, failed to gather enough signatures for a recall election, as confirmed by state elections officials. Vos had angered Trump supporters by refusing to decertify President Joe Biden's win and not backing a plan to impeach the state's top elections official, Meagan Wolfe. Despite a second recall effort, Vos remains in his position, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined to clarify district boundaries for any potential recall. Trump has criticized Vos and renewed calls for Wolfe's removal, while Vos has blocked impeachment efforts against Wolfe.

"Second Attempt Launched to Recall Wisconsin GOP Assembly Speaker by Trump Supporters"

Backers of former President Donald Trump are launching a second effort to recall Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, citing reasons such as his refusal to impeach the state’s top elections official or proceed with attempting to decertify President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in Wisconsin. Vos, the longest serving Assembly speaker in Wisconsin history, faces challenges from recall organizers who accuse him of "tacit support for the Chinese Communist Party," lack of commitment to election integrity, and disrespect for his constituents. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission will determine whether enough valid signatures are gathered to force a recall election, with the possibility of a new recall petition due by May 28 and a potential recall election likely to be scheduled in September.

"Recall Effort Against Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos Falls Short"

Rightwing activists' attempt to recall Wisconsin's Republican assembly speaker Robin Vos seems to have failed as initial review by the elections commission found far fewer valid signatures than claimed. The recall campaign needed signatures totaling 25% of the vote cast during the last gubernatorial election, and it appears to have fallen short in both Vos's old and new districts. The commission has asked for clarification from the Wisconsin supreme court about which district applies in the recall campaign, but regardless of the court's directive, the recall effort seems to have fallen short. If the recall fails, the group pushing for Vos's ouster plans to launch a second attempt in his primary this August.

"Ethics Commission Alleges Campaign Finance Scheme Involving Trump Fundraising Committee and Vos Challenger"

The state Ethics Commission alleges that Donald Trump’s joint fundraising committee and GOP state Rep. Janel Brandtjen were involved in a campaign finance scheme to benefit Speaker Robin Vos's primary challenger, Adam Steen, by evading campaign finance limits and steering at least $40,000 to his campaign. The commission recommended local district attorneys investigate and charge several individuals and entities, including Trump's joint fundraising committee. This poses potential legal trouble for Trump, who clashed with Vos in 2022.

UW Regents Hold Closed Meeting to Reconsider Rejected DEI Deal

The University of Wisconsin (UW) Regents will hold a closed-door meeting to discuss Governor Tony Evers' lawsuit against the Legislature over the withholding of pay raises for UW system employees, as well as funding proposals. Assembly Speaker Robin Vos stated that Republicans will not change their compromise plan, which was rejected by the Regents, to roll back diversity efforts in exchange for staff raises and infrastructure improvements. The deal would have required the UW system to reduce its number of diversity, equity, and inclusion employees. The Regents' rejection came after concerns were raised about setting a precedent and compromising the university's core values.
