MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Embattled first-term Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will face a recall this spring after an election was ordered Friday following the collection of more than 900,000 signatures in the wake of his push against union bargaining rights.
The Government Accountability Board voted 5-0 to order the recall, a move that has been expected for weeks given the large number of signatures gathered between November and January. It took 540,208 signatures to trigger a recall.
But the petitioning is not over yet. Republicans are still attempting to get enough signatures to recall Democratic Senator Jausch, and also have a campaign going to recall one of their own, Republican Senator Schultz, for going against Walker's agenda.
Anyways, no more delays. The recall is now officially on.
Predictions? I think Walker will survive this election - barely, but I believe that the Senate will flip. However, this November, depending on the turnout, and whichever presidential candidate has the better coat tails in Wisconsin, the Senate could flip back to the Republicans.
Confused yet? Just wait. It's going to get even better. LOL.
