Oh by the way riot its official prosser wins. Its in the paper so get over it! Oh and by the way a democrat watched her recount the votes in waukesha. So she wasn't trying to cheat she just missed votes it happens. Its gotten so ridiculous in madison that some people want to have an alternative brat fest this memorial day because Johnsonville who donates over 200,00 to the brat fest gave money to walkers campaign. What a joke and even the madison paper had an editorial saying that its getting out of hand. Congrat on prosser winning maybe this state can stay out of the news for awhile.

They should have a alternative brat fest. Serve soy brats and white wine rather than Johnsonville’s and beer. The uproar coming from Madison is predominantly the voice of students, many of whom are from out of state, and don't have a clue about the real world much less the State of Wisconsin. As soon as they go home for summer break the capital will go to sleep.

As far as the woman from Waukesha is concerned, she should be fired immediately and needs to reimburse the county for any expenses incurred fixing her mistakes. Doesn’t matter whether she is a republican or democrat she can’t do her job. Maybe returning carts in a grocery store parking lot is more her speed as long as she isn’t required to count the carts.

Four recall petitions have now been filed against Republican state Senators in Wisconsin: Dan Kapanke (April 1), Randy Hopper (April 7), Luther Olsen (April 18), and Sheila Harsdorf (April 19, today).

The petitions will likely all be challenged by the Senators against whom they were filed, but given that the petitions all exceeded 140% of the minimum amount required and were closely examined before being submitted, all the challenges will fail.

I don't know if any recalls have been successfully collected against any Democratic Senators as promised. Wiphan? Do you know of any?

This moron declared victory election night with her up just over 200 votes. Now being down more than 7,300 votes, more than a month later she wants a recount? LOL

GFY! Wisconsin can't afford such nonsense.

Estimate cost of the recount is between $3-3.5 million dollars of local govts funds to pay for the recount. In WI history the largest change of votes in response to a recount was 489 votes. Kloppenburg lost by 7,316 votes. This will definitely help the budget

Hansen, Holperin and Wirch

We'll see if they do get them in today. The Republicans have filed no recall petitions so far, and they have only until Tuesday to file. Another source says they only have enough signatures so far for Hansen and Holperin.

And there's this unflattering new investigation about one Republican signature gatherer:

The Wisconsin Democratic Party is planning to file a complaint to the state Government Accountability Board alleging that a Republican signature-gatherer offered alcoholic beverages to a group of women to get them to sign a recall petition against a Democratic state senator.

Although that's not illegal in Wisconsin, it is strongly discouraged and, Democrats argue, evidence that Republicans don't really have enough grassroots support for their recall campaigns.

Reid Magney, a spokesman for the GAB -- which oversees the state's campaign finance, elections, ethics and lobbying laws -- said offering drinks in return for signatures doesn't actually appear to be illegal.

"Our attorneys have been unable to find anything in state law that would prohibit offering drinks or anything for signing a petition," Magney said, though he added that they "strongly encourage people not to do so because it taints the process."

Based on the above recording, Wisconsin Democratic Party spokesman Graeme Zielinski confirmed that the party may still file a complaint with the GAB challenging a possible Wirch recall petition on ethical grounds.

The Dems have already filed twice the signatures needed to recall four GOP Senators, but only have until May 2 to get enough signatures for anyone else.

Somewhere I read they were going to try and hold all the recall elections on the same date (rather than one at a time, as they come in).

Even though a recall election is forced, there still has to be another candidate to run, and the other candidate has to win against the incumbent being recalled.
