Wisconsin: Judge tosses out complaint against Election Commission ruling in failed Assembly Speaker recall effort

The lawsuit seeking to overturn the rejection of 188 signatures in the recall effort against Assembly Speaker Robin Vos was tossed out by a district court judge. The judge did not rule on the Election Commissions reason for the tossing out of signatures (whether the signature collection deadline for submitting petitions was extended because of Memorial Day), but instead ruled that the signatures were collected in the wrong district (the old district, not the new one).

Due to questions about what district to use because of gerrymandering, the he petitioners needed 6850 under the old district, and they got 6866. In the new district, they needed 7195. The Wisconsin Supreme Court refused to rule on which district counted.

Here's a full discussion of this recall
