Wisconsin gave final approval to petitions to recall-elections of 3 Repub. state senators.

This makes it almost certain that recall elections of three Repub. state senators will be taking place
sometime this summer. It sure sounds good!

5. Great news. Thanks. I hope the Dems. will be watching the

whole vote-counting procedure like hawks. No shenanigans this time!

2. Yeah, but the reject 2 important and vuneralbe Repukes

The Government Accountability Board rejected the challenges made to recall petitions targeting Republican Sens. Dan Kapanke of La Crosse, Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen of Ripon.

I hope the committee challenges the rejection of these 3. It would be best to have 6 Repubs consuming their time and money than just 3. It would be harder for the GOP to defend all 6.

3. That's not what that says at all.

It says that it rejected the challenges to the petitions.

4. They rejected the challenges

"While the board voted 5-1 to have staff review the registration forms used for recalls, it unanimously rejected the GOP challenges and found each petition sufficient with almost no discussion. While some challenges to individual signatures were accepted, each petition had thousands more than the minimum required."

6. This bodes well for July12th, when the special elections will take place.

It's beginning to look like that the high-handed Scott Walker might very well
also be recalled some time in early 2012. "Booted out" would be a better term.
