Wisconsin Assembly leader Robin Vos faces another recall attempt from the same group after the first one against him failed. 

The first attempt failed after many signatures were found to be fraudulent. Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice and lawyer Vos hired and subsequently fired to investigate false claims of election fraud in the 2020 election in Wisconsin, is helping lead the effort. The group announced it gathered 9,000 signatures, more than the 6,850 it needed from Vos’s district. 

“We didn’t spend a lot of thought or time strategizing on the first recall about how to prevent or how to block the recall process from being invaded or sabotaged by people who were not invited — those people who came from out of state,” Gableman said. “When the sufficient number of signatures is validated out of this batch, Robin is going to lose the recall.”

The group looking to recall him is the same group of supporters of former President Donald Trump that failed to recall him earlier this year. Trump opposed Vos’s decision not to impeach the state’s election officials and instead certify the 2020 election results in Wisconsin.

Vos called the group trying to recall him “whack jobs and morons” after the Wisconsin Elections Commission found the first recall did not have enough valid signatures from Vos’s district and that some were forged. Vos even found his own falsified signature on the recall.

“Signatures were forged (including those of children), recall signers were lied to and threatened into signing, and out-of-state felons were used to gather signatures,” Vos said of the first recall attempt. 

While he was not involved with the first recall attempt, Gableman emerged to help the second attempt. He said the first attempt was “intentionally sabotaged” by out-of-state influences.

“[The petitioners], in fact, had a two-hour meeting with the FBI because they, and based on what I’ve heard and read, I believe that recall 1.0 was intentionally sabotaged, it was infiltrated by outsiders from New York and Florida,” Gableman said. “I can’t say whether it was done at the behest of Robin Vos or on his behalf.”

Vos, the longest-serving speaker in Wisconsin’s history, has been the speaker of Wisconsin’s lower chamber since 2013 and in the Assembly since 2005. The Washington Examiner reached out to Vos for comment.
