Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to hear appeal on Vos recall

The effort to salvage an attempt to recall Republican Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos from office suffered another legal defeat on Tuesday. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, without comment, refused to hear an appeal of a lower court’s ruling rejecting an attempt to revive the recall effort, which was led by supporters of former President Donald Trump. That means if the case is to proceed, it first must be heard by a state appeals court. A Dane County Circuit Judge ruled in July that signatures collected on petitions circulated in an attempt to recall Vos were wrongly collected under legislative boundary lines now barred from use in any election. His ruling came after the Wisconsin Elections Commission also rejected the petition. Trump supporters had targeted Vos for recall after he refused calls to decertify President Joe Biden’s narrow win in the state.
