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.
