威斯康星州麦迪逊支持罢黜的人威斯康星州共和党议长罗宾·沃斯因反对前总统而被免职唐纳德·特朗普周日宣布他们已经收集了足够的签名来强制进行罢免投票。

罢免运动的支持者计划周一向威斯康星州选举委员会提交签名，称他们已经获得了沃斯东南部威斯康星州选区选民的6，850个签名。

“我们的罢免请愿书上有1万多个签名，他们响亮而明确地表示:他们厌倦了现状，要求新的代表，”马特·斯诺里克在一份声明中说，他于1月份发起了这场运动。

沃斯否认召回是浪费时间和资源，他在周日的一份声明中重申了这一点。他质疑该组织的策略和签名的有效性，承诺他组建的团队将“评估每个人的签名。”

针对特朗普的罢免行动突显出特朗普在战场威斯康星州的支持者对他在2020年的失败持续感到沮丧选举以及沃斯对此的反应。这包括沃斯如何拒绝特朗普及其支持者取消拜登获胜资格的企图，以及他如何没有推进弹劾威斯康星州最高选举官员的行动。

特朗普在2016年以微弱优势赢得了威斯康星州，但在2020年以大约2.1万张选票的类似优势输给了总统乔·拜登。选举结果经受住了两次部分重新计票、多起诉讼、一次独立审计和一家保守派律师事务所的审查。

罢免运动周日宣布之前，威斯康星州最高法院周五拒绝接受民主党州长托尼·埃弗斯（Tony Evers）的请求，即澄清威斯康星州新的立法区地图是否适用于11月之前的选举，这使得罢免尝试的签名是否应该在沃斯的新区收集存在不确定性。

斯诺里克周日表示，他们将法院的举动视为一个信号，表明他们在沃斯当前地区的努力是正确的。

沃斯于2004年首次当选，是该州历史上任职时间最长的议长，自2013年以来一直担任该职位。

Trump supporters hoping to oust Wisconsin leader say they have enough signatures to force recall

MADISON, Wis. -- Backers of an effort to oust Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos from office over his opposition to former President Donald Trump announced Sunday that they’ve collected enough signatures to force a recall vote.

Supporters of the recall campaign plan to present signatures Monday to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, saying they have more than the required 6,850 signatures from voters in Vos' southeast Wisconsin district.

“With more than 10,000 signatures on our recall petition, they’ve said it loud and clear: they’re tired of the status quo and demand new representation,” Matt Snorek, who started the campaign in January, said in a statement.

Vos has dismissed the recall attempt as a waste of time and resources, which he reiterated in a statement Sunday. He questioned the group's tactics and the validity of the signatures, promising that a team he had assembled would "evaluate each individual signature.”

The recall effort targeting him highlights continued frustration among Trump’s supporters in battleground Wisconsin over his loss in the 2020 election and how Vos responded to it. That includes how Vos refused attempts from Trump and his supporters to decertify Biden’s win and how he didn’t move forward with impeaching Wisconsin’s top elections official.

Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden by a similar margin of about 21,000 votes in 2020. The result has withstood two partial recounts, numerous lawsuits, an independent audit and a review by a conservative law firm.

The recall campaign's announcement Sunday comes after the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined Friday to take up Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' request to clarify if Wisconsin's new legislative district maps apply to elections before November, leaving uncertainty about whether signatures for the recall attempt should be collected in Vos' new district.

Snorek said Sunday that they took the court's move as a signal that their efforts in Vos' current district were correct.

First elected in 2004, Vos is the longest-serving Assembly speaker in state history, holding the post since 2013.
