Petitioners are gathering signatures for a second attempt to recall the Democrat in Republican clothing, Robin Vos, who fights election integrity side by side with the Democrats. He and his people are trying to intimidate recall workers. The first recall attempt failed after Vos increased the size of his district and had workers go through the petitions with a fine-toothed comb in order to make sure there would not be enough to trigger a recall.
Vos and his friends have sent out a flier at taxpayer expense that falsely claims the recall effort is under investigation. Residents have shared a bright yellow-and-black mailer they received in the mail from “The Republican Party of Wisconsin, Authorized by Friends and Neighbors of Robin Vos.
One petition worker said:
“I’m here to help recall a corrupt politician who’s been called out for accepting money from the Chinese Communist Party, and now Vos is operating with their Media Contact: Kelly John Walker Kelly@lindelloffensefund.orgmethods, using surveillance and intimidation. Our tax dollars are being used to endanger people participating in a legal recall effort. It just highlights the need to get people like this out of office.” “
Racine Recall organizers allege:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELRobin Vos is using communist China tactics to intimidate the citizens of his district. He posted all of the signers’ names online in a searchable database for neighbors in order to police those who wanted the recall. We have heard from residents that Vos himself is coming to doors begging them not to sign the new petition. Vos and his cronies are lying in mailers and advertisements. It’s despicable.”
One petition worker, Josias Andujar, is a Puerto Rican American. He shared a threat and racial slur he experienced:
“I met the guy today that told us to go away at his house. He said that if he sees ‘that Mexican guy’ again he will ‘fuck him up.’ I’ve had residents threaten to ‘kick my ass’ and my image was used (without permission) in flyers accusing our campaign of illegal activity. We’re just collecting signatures to get the recall on the ballot. Nothing Illegal about that.”
“I’ve worked over 20 campaigns in the last 10 years as a petition circulator. This is the toughest campaign I have ever worked.”

The first recall effort received over 10,000 signatures from Vos’s district, but narrowly failed after the congressman hired teams to scour signatures and remove as many as possible. Voss then used his position to change the boundaries of his district in the middle of the recall effort.
“Can you imagine the audacity to change boundaries and use your influence in the legislature to keep your position?” asked Vos Recall advocate, Mike Lindell. “That’s exactly what Robin Vos did.”
Mike Lindell in Real America’s Voice interview as recall petitioner looks on In spite of the fact that claims of non-citizen recall workers or recruitment of underage signers were thoroughly refuted by Burlington Police Chief, Brian Zmudzinski, the Vos counter-campaign continues to disseminate false claims.
“We have had some complaints regarding individuals collecting signatures for the recall Vos efforts,” wrote Zmudzinski during the first recall. “We have no reason to believe any of them involved employed migrants.” The Chief went on to refute a false claim that, “Several circulators were also found to be circulating petitions among students at Burlington High School without verifying whether the signers were 18 years old.” Citing the absence of complaints from the school’s faculty or students, he added, “I’m not sure where this information came from.”
