GOP Lawmakers Pushing to Make it Tougher to Mount Recall Elections

Republicans say millions were spent unnecessarily on summer recall elections and they want to change state Constitution to require "just cause" for a recall effort.

Even with record unemployment and minimal job growth across the country, there is still one business that has demonstrated it is recession-proof: politics.

The Wisconsin recall elections were a boon for statewide cash flow, with nearly $44 million in private funds pouring into the state for nine state Senate races. The Democrats and their supporters spent over $23.4 million for their efforts, with the GOP and conservative groups spent $20.5 million, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

By comparison, $19 million was spent on all of 99 state Assembly elections in November 2010.

On top of the money raised in the recall, it cost municipalities another $2.1 million to hold the elections, print ballots and notices, and pay poll workers and canvassers, according to the state Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections in Wisconsin. That figure also includes the work of the GAB to oversee the recall.

We would not have had those recalls if you NEOCON RAT TURDS would have listened to the Wisconsin voters in the first place. Just keep on burying your heads in the sands because you have not got a clue!

1. Only one reason the GOP wants to stop recalls:

They worked.

The GOP no longer has that overwhelming majority so they can just give all of us the finger and do what they want.

2. Fake dem primaries

Cost a lot of money don't they?

5. sure, let's do it!

if they start right away, the new rules will go into effect AFTER Walker is recalled.

6. Three years after Walker is recalled.

It takes passage of the bill in two consecutive legislatures plus a public referendum. Do-nothing idiots are just pissing in the wind. Nothing like a chance to grandstand to bring out the dicks.
