MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has challenged signatures on petitions filed seeking an election to recall him from office.
He said Friday that there were not enough valid signatures. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has until June 28 to determine whether there are enough to trigger a recall election. The panel rejected the first attempt for not having enough valid signatures.
Vos is being targeted by supporters of former President Donald Trump. They submitted more than 9,000 signatures May 28. They need 6,850 valid signatures to force a recall election. Vos says he found thousands of invalid signatures.
