How much more time to finish the last 3 petitions, and will it get done?

[RBInMaine]

There are 3 more RePUKES to finish recall petitions on, and I understand with not much time left. How much time is left, and will it happen?

[undeterred]

1. I just signed up for 2 3-hour shifts this weekend for one of our Dem Senators...

These are in Madison at the Democratic Party office on King Street. The shifts go through Thursday 9am through 12pm, and if you can bring a laptop that will help.

This is for Senator Jim Holperin.

Please contact Nick at [e-mail] for more information.

They are still doing Data for Democracy on Paterson St:

Saturday, April 23 Closed

Sunday, April 24 Closed

The usual schedule (10 am to 9 pm) will resume on Monday, April 25 at 211 S.Paterson St.

2. Recall Summary: Recall tally now stands at eight, more likely coming

Election Blog: Recall tally now stands at eight, more likely coming
4/22/2011

Eight recall elections have now been filed against state senators, and more may be on the way.

With Thursday's filings, it's now five Republicans and three Dems who face recall elections, if the papers hold up to a review by the Government Accountability Board and possible legal challenges.

In addition to Alberta Darling of River Hills (left), fellow Republicans Dan Kapanke of La Crosse, Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac, Luther Olsen of Ripon and Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls have been targeted. On the Dem side, it's Dave Hansen of Green Bay, Jim Holperin of Conover and Bob Wirch of Kenosha.

Earlier this week, a Dem operative said he had “every expectation” the efforts to recall GOP Sens. Rob Cowles will proceed to a recall election. Opponents have until May 2 to filed papers against him.

The operative said organizers were still working on collecting signatures against GOP Sens. Glenn Grothman and Mary Lazich. The deadline for them is also May 2.

Meanwhile, Republicans appear to be ramping up their efforts against Dem Julie Lassa of Stevens Point. She has the latest deadline of the any of the Dems eligible for recall, and opponents have until May 16 to file against her.

Organizer Scott Noble said the group has now opened signature collection centers in Stevens Point and Marshfield and is beginning to run a radio ad promoting the effort.

So far, only Dems have formally announced plans to challenge targeted lawmakers. Yesterday, Rep. Fred Clark of Baraboo said he would run against Olsen, while Oshkosh Deputy Mayor Jessica King has said she will challenge Hopper and Rep. Jen Shilling said she would run against Kapanke.

3. We're working Lazich right up to the gun, we'll see

We're working Lazich right up to the gun, we'll see how it goes. No one seems to have any idea where we are in signatures though. I have my fingers crossed! We've had a lot (A LOT) of volunteers working a lot (A LOT) of hours. (Heck, on election day we had 30+ voting centers staffed 13 hours each, most with multiple volunteers.) So my hopes are high.

4. Data entry in Madison is FINISHED as of last night~!

Tremendous volunteer effort. I don't have the overall picture but I'm sure we will hear something today.
