Supporters of former President Donald Trump have submitted close to 11,000 signatures in an effort to recall Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. The group of Trump loyalists submitted a total of 10,700 signatures to the Wisconsin Elections Commission on Monday, surpassing the required threshold of 6,850 signatures. However, the names still need to be certified by the commission.

The motivation behind the recall stems from Vos' refusal to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his decision not to impeach Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Megan Wolfe over allegations of mishandling the election. Vos, who has held his position since 2013, previously expressed his desire to have Wolfe replaced as the state's top elections official but stopped short of endorsing impeachment.

During the 2020 election, President Joe Biden narrowly secured victory in Wisconsin with a slim margin of just over half a percentage point. Republican officials in swing states like Wisconsin and Georgia faced mounting pressure from Trump allies to challenge and overturn the election results.

This is not the first time Vos has faced opposition due to concerns surrounding the election. In the previous election cycle, he successfully fended off a primary challenge from Adam Steen, who enjoyed the support of Trump.

Complicating the recall effort is the uncertainty surrounding the enforcement of the state's new legislative map before the upcoming fall elections. The recall signatures must come from Vos' district, but it remains unclear whether organizers should target his old or new district.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission will now proceed with the certification process of the submitted signatures. If enough valid signatures are confirmed, a recall election against Vos could be initiated, giving voters the opportunity to decide whether he should continue in his role as Assembly Speaker.
