Rich Kremer reports Elections staff confirms Vos recall attempt falls short:
Wisconsin Elections Commission staff have confirmed that conservative activists trying to recall Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos didn’t gather enough signatures from the right places to trigger an election.
But as one recall wraps up, those organizers say they’re already working to recall Vos again.
WEC staff vetted thousands of signatures submitted by Burlington resident Matt Snorek in March. To initiate a recall election, Snorek and others in the Recall Vos campaign needed a number of signatures totaling at least “25 percent of the number of electors who cast a vote for governor” in the district two years ago.
No reason to stop now. Inspiration for the work ahead: Quitters never prosper — If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again — I think I can, I think I can.
You’re welcome.
