Looks like some of the Democrats who fled the state are going to have to deal with a recall. Wisconsinites aren’t happy.
From wsau.com:
Organizers plan to file a petition tomorrow demanding a recall election against Democratic state Senator Jim Holperin.
The Northwoods Patriots group says it has gathered more than 21,000 signatures from residents in Holperin’s 12th Senate district. That’s more than the 15,960 signatures they need.
The petition will be filed with the state Government Accountability Board. If the signatures are validated, the board would schedule an election where Holperin would have to defend his seat.
Also, an article from Fox11.com says Dave Hansen may have a recall fight on his hands by the end of the week.
A group working to recall State Sen. Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, has also told FOX 11 it has enough signatures to force a recall election. More than 13,000 are needed in Hansen’s district. The group has said Winter Storm Gabe delayed its trip to Madison. No date has been announced for the petitions to be filed.
Recall petitions must be filed with the state Government Accountability Board at its offices near the state Capitol. The GAB then works to confirm and certify the signatures, and if there are enough, a recall election is set.
