I believe most states have a process for declaring public offices officially abandoned and holding new elections.

Anybody know the options available per WI constitution for replacement of these laggards?? Cheeseheads, any knowlege of your state law that could be passed along?

Thanks in advance for anybody with understanding of the above.

“I believe most states have a process for declaring public offices officially abandoned and holding new elections.”

That's exactly what he should do. Walker should sign a decree declaring a state of emergency and that the absent Dems have abdicated their positions. He could then call special elections as well as cut off their credit cards.

Speaking of abandonment of office, what’s happening with Giffords? Anybody know? When does the time come that her office is considered “abandoned”? I know she’s not a vegetable, but will she ever return to congress?
