Wisconsin state elections officials have set the dates for the recall elections of Governor Scott Walker, Lt Gov Rebecca Kleefisch and 4 state senators.
Madison - State elections officials ordered a set of historic recall elections Friday, making Scott Walker the third governor in the nation to face a recall and Rebecca Kleefisch the first lieutenant governor to face one.http://www.jsonline.com/...The Government Accountability Board, voting unanimously, also set recall elections for four Republican state senators. One of those senators, Pam Galloway of Wausau, resigned earlier this month, but the recall election will be held anyway; one or more Republicans can run in her place.
Primaries will be held May 8 and general elections June 5. For races that do not require primaries, the general elections will be May 8 - less than six weeks away.
Primaries are expected in most races, but which ones have primaries won't be clear until April 10, the deadline for candidates to file their nomination papers.
Joshua Spivak, who maintains a blog about recall elections, said no other lieutenant governor has faced a recall election.
So long Governor Walker and Lt. Gov Rebecca Kleefisch...go work for the Kochroaches...better yet, start your defense for the FBI "John Doe" case that is heating up and already has claimed the political careers of many who are turning over evidence in a desperate attempt to stay out of prison.
