Organizers of an effort to oust Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced on March 10 that their petition had collected enough signatures to trigger a recall election. Mr. Vos’s response to certain election integrity efforts in the wake of the 2020 election drew the ire of supporters of former President Donald Trump who maintain that the election was stolen. Campaign organizer Matt Snorek of Racine County now says the petition has collected more than the necessary 6,850 signatures from voters in Mr. Vos’s southeast Wisconsin district. “With more than 10,000 signatures on our recall petition, they’ve said it loud...

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...

The Republican who led the first investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 election says she does not trust the effort to count the state’s absentee ballots early because she doesn’t trust election officials in Milwaukee. State Rep. Janel Brandtken told The Center Square there are serious security concerns with the Monday Count plan moving ahead at the Wisconsin Capitol. “I get the concept, but Milwaukee has not been a trustworthy partner in elections as I have witnessed in recount, and central count elections,” Brandtjen said. Brandtjen said her experience with former Milwaukee Elections Commission Director Kim Zapata adds to her distrust. Zapata...

Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday sued the Republican-controlled Legislature, arguing that it is obstructing basic government functions, including signing off on pay raises for university employees that were previously approved. Evers is asking the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, bypassing lower courts. In addition to not approving the pay raises for about 35,000 University of Wisconsin employees, Evers argues that the Legislature is blocking state conservation programs, updates to the state's commercial building standards and ethics standards for licensed professionals. The Legislature included a 6% pay raise for UW employees over two years in...

The disbarment trial of Donald Trump’s attorney John Eastman is in its fourth week, and on Thursday the State Bar of California rested its case and Eastman’s attorney began putting on witnesses, beginning with former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman. Gableman was directed by the Wisconsin Legislature to conduct a minimal investigation of the 2020 election, and he revealed numerous instances where he believed the law was broken, and had election officials referred for prosecution. Shortly after Gableman began testifying as Eastman’s first witness, the judge appeared to lose her temper at him. Gableman was discussing how he’d been...

Guest post by Jefferson Davis Wisconsin election integrity expert Peter Bernegger went public last week publishing an exhaustive list of apparent election fraud evidence in a string of over 100 Twitter postings (https://mobile.twitter.com/peterbernegger) and appearing on the conservative Talk Show, The Schroeder Show, WTAQ, in Green Bay. Bernegger implicated Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) in a cover-up of evidence that clearly affected the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election in Wisconsin (https://omny.fm/shows/the-schroeder-show/the-schroeder-show-12-31-2022-segment-5, https://omny.fm/shows/the-schroeder-show/the-schroeder-show-12-31-2022-segment-6 and https://omny.fm/shows/the-schroeder-show/the-schroeder-show-12-31-2022-segment-7). Twitter has not pulled these postings down nor have they censored Peter Bernegger. The 2020 Wisconsin Presidential Election was allegedly decided by just...

Earlier today, The Gateway Pundit had the opportunity to sit down with Adam Steen, the Trump-endorsed candidate in Wisconsin’s 63rd, who is trying to make history: a state representative bid to unseat the longest sitting state Speaker in the country, Robin Vos, using a write-in campaign! Vos is no stranger to the Gateway Pundit. We have written about him here, here, and here for starters. He has been controversial at best with his election fraud denialism. Especially after his own hand selected “investigator,” Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, reported back that they should strongly look at de-certifying the 2020...

ROCHESTER — Former President Donald Trump has re-upped his endorsement of conservative write-in state legislative candidate Adam Steen in the final week before Election Day. In a new prerecorded robocall, Trump again attacks incumbent Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, calling Vos “a horrendous RINO,” shorthand for Republican In Name Only. The former president tells voters to write-in Steen and calls Vos “an absolute disaster … Vos has really let you down on voter integrity and just about everything else.”

Adam Steen, who lost the GOP primary in the 63rd AD to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos by 260 votes after he was endorsed by former President Trump, will run as a write-in candidate in November.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission against the City Clerk of Racine for its use of mobile sites in the latest primary. This is the same primary that Robin Voss squeaked out a win by only 260 votes. We reported that last week Wisconsin’s corrupted Speaker Robin Vos won the primary in his district by only 260 votes.

The Wisconsin Assembly Republican leader who hired a former state Supreme Court justice to investigate the 2020 election fired him Friday, after the former justice and former President Donald Trump backed the lawmaker’s opponent. Speaker Robin Vos firing of Michael Gableman ends a 14-month probe that began with Vos voicing full confidence in Gableman’s abilities. Vos, in a statement first provided to The Associated Press on Friday, said Gableman’s reports “clearly showed concerns and problems with the 2020 election.”

Republican turnout is 300K higher than the 2018 primary. Voter turnout from Democrats is lower than the 2018 primary. Trump/Thompson endorsed Tim Michels beat Kleefisch. Roger Roth (R) for Lt. Gov. Amy Loudenbeck (R) for SOS John Leiber (R) for Treasurer Sen. Ron Johnson facing abortion supporter Mandela Barnes. Robin Vos edges out Adam Steen by under 200 votes.

Michael Gableman has turned on Speaker Robin Vos, who has paid the former state Supreme Court Justice more than $100,000 in taxpayer dollars to to lead the one-party review of the 2020 presidential election, claiming in a new robocall endorsing the speaker's primary challenger that Vos "never wanted a real investigation." Gableman's endorsement of Adam Steen, who is challenging Vos in Tuesday's primary, was first mentioned by former President Donald Trump, who has also backed Steen, in a Waukesha County rally on Friday in support of Trump-endorsed candidates, including gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels. While Vos, R-Rochester, launched the GOP-ordered review...

MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Former President Donald Trump has handed out another endorsement in Wisconsin, this time backing Adam Steen in the 63rd District Republican primary over Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. The announcement was anticipated after Trump issued a series of statements signaling support for Steen without naming him directly, adding "anyone would be better” than Vos. It comes after Trump has consistently bullied Vos on his social media platform over his refusal to decertify the 2020 election in Wisconsin. Vos and other top Republicans have pushed back against decertification because legal and constitutional experts have said it's not...

The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice hired to investigate President Joe Biden’s victory in the battleground state testified Thursday that he routinely deleted records, and deactivated a personal email account, even after receiving open records requests. Michael Gableman testified in a court hearing about whether the person who hired him, Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, should face penalties after earlier being found in contempt for how he handled the records requests from American Oversight. Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn did not say when she would rule in the case. Vos hired Gableman a year ago, under pressure from Donald...

Speaker Robin Vos introduced this week he'll pause the 2020 election investigation by former Wisconsin supreme Courtroom Justice Michael Gableman. Vos stated he'll wait till some lawsuits had been determined, which is a one other flimsy excuse for the RINO Home Speaker. The Washington examiner reported: Former Wisconsin Supreme Courtroom Justice Michael Gableman's inquiry into the 2020 presidential election has reportedly been halted amid a number of lawsuits over his investigation. Whereas his investigation into the election is paused, Gableman's, $11,000 month-to-month wage will probably be halved to $5,500, and he'll obtain a $2,500 month-to-month stipend to pay for hire,...

Republican Sen. Kathy Bernier, a former Chippewa County clerk and chair of the Senate elections committee, is retiring after 12 years in the Legislature. She took intense criticism for defending local clerks’ elections performance and questioning Assembly Speaker Robin Vos’ decision to hire former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman to investigate the election. Gableman called on her to resign. “It just seemed to me something had to be said and something had to be done,” she said. “After getting the slings and arrows from people in my own caucus . . . they came to realize there was nothing...

A circuit judge on Thursday found the Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, in contempt of court for refusing to turn over documents relating to the state's recount of the 2020 presidential election. "Robin Vos had delegated the search for contractors' records to an employee who did nothing more than send one vague email to one contractor," wrote Dane County Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn. "Putting aside for the moment the impropriety of making a contractor responsible for a records request … Robin Vos did not tell [sic] that contractor which records to produce, did not ask any of the other...
