I attended a rally today during which WI Assemblyma­n Fred Clark announced he will run against my State Senator Luther Olsen in the recall election. The date of the recall election will be announced after the state's Government Accountabi­lity Board "files the petition."

Date of Recall Election: §9.10(3)(b­), Wis. Stats. If the filing officer finds that the petition is sufficient­, the filing officer shall file the petition and call a recall election to be held on the Tuesday of the 6th week commencing after the date the filing officer files the petition. If that Tuesday is a legal holiday, the recall election shall be held on the first day after Tuesday which is not a legal holiday.

According to WI law, the GAB is supposed to verify and “file” the recall petition within 31 days after the petition is “offered for filing” by the various recall committees­. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the GAB plans to ask for more time to review all these petitions. The GAB wants to “synchroni­ze the elections.­” They also need more staff and money.

Also keep in mind that if more than two people compete in a recall election, a recall primary will be held on the 6th week Tuesday as described in the statute above.

I never forget that all of this happens because of Scott Walker's actions. Worst governor ever!

About 21,000 votes for alberta in the last go around, which was a major election. 30,000 recall signatures in an off-year, coupled with an almost unheard of event in Wisconsin (only 4 recalls in our history). We just may have a good chance at knocking her out. Since I am in her district and hate the everything the woman stands for, I am cheering and I collected signatures­.
