Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects bid to revive Robin Vos recall election

MADISON — The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an effort by opponents of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to expedite a case that would revive their effort to launch a recall election against the Rochester Republican.

The court did not offer any commentary in its decision to deny the recall proponents' request to bypass an appeals court.

Dane County Circuit Judge Stephen Ehlke ruled last month that signatures collected in the recall effort were obtained under legislative district maps that are now invalid and cannot be used in upcoming elections. His ruling followed a decision by the Wisconsin Elections Commission in June declaring the petitions to have too few valid signatures because a portion were collected beyond the time period allowed under state law.

It was the Racine County-based group's second failed effort.
