Wisconsin Approves Recall Elections for Six Republicans (Taegan Goddard's Political Wire)

Wisconsin election officials approved recall elections "against three
Republican senators but put off decisions on certifying recall petitions
against three Democrats," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.


The decision follows rulings last week to hold recall elections for three
other Republican senators.


"At no time in U.S. history have attempts been made to recall so many
legislators at the same time over the same issue. To recall a senator in
Wisconsin, recall organizers had to gather signatures from voters in each
district equivalent to 25% of the number of people who voted for governor in
November. That meant staff for the board had to review more than 18,000
signatures for each recall attempt."
