State recall elections set for May 8 or June 5
MADISON A Dane County judge signed off on an agreement Wednesday that would make May 8 or June 5 the dates for recall elections against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and five other Republicans.
The deal approved by Judge Richard Niess was reached a day earlier by lawyers for the state elections board, recall committees and recall targets.
For races where a primary will be required, the primary election will be held May 8 with a general election four weeks later, on June 5. For races where primaries won't be necessary, the general election will take place May 8.

(53,661 posts)Somehow. I thought that the recall and elections would be separate events, but naturally the seat won't sit vacant.
In the Schwarzenegger vs. Davis elections, an opposing candidate was in the running before the recall, I think...
There is not much time to get name recognition between now and May or June.
So who is running for Governor and all of those other seats?
and thanks for the good news from WI.
