A recall effort targeting two Democratic state senators has fallen short at the deadline.

Organizers had until Monday afternoon to turn in petitions to recall Sen. Lena Taylor of Milwaukee and Sen. Fred Risser of Madison. But the organizers failed to meet the deadline.

Taylor and Risser were seen as two of the safest Democrats targeted by recall organizers. Both ran unopposed in 2008 and represent heavily Democratic districts.

Election officials are currently reviewing petitions already turned in against five GOP senators and three Democratic senators. The senators are being targeted for their votes for or against a divisive bill that curtails collective bargaining rights for most public employees.

3. This grassroots stuff is HARD!

Especially when some overrich sugar daddy isn't paying all the freight. It's one thing to charter a bus and load up the malcontents, but actually talking to people and getting signatures? Too much!
