August 16 Wisconsin recall election results from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
44EAGLE RIVER, Wis (Reuters) - Voters in two Wisconsin State Senate districts head to the polls on Tuesday in the last of nine recall elections triggered by the fight earlier this year over Republican-backed curbs on the union rights of public workers.
In Tuesday's two final special elections, Jim Holperin and Robert Wirch -- two Democrats who opposed the anti-union measure and even fled the state for weeks in an unsuccessful effort to prevent its passage -- are defending their seats.
Holperin seems to be in the tighter race. His rival is Kim Simac, founder of the Northwoods Patriots, a Tea Party group. Though Simac is a political novice, the district has leaned Republican in the three years since Holperin was elected.
No matter who wins, Republican Governor Scott Walker and his Republican allies will retain control of the legislature, where the battle over public workers' union powers was waged earlier this year with public protests, legislative maneuvering and court challenges.
With seven of the nine recalls over, Republicans have managed to keep control of the state senate -- 17 to 16 if they score no wins on Tuesday -- because Democrats failed to unseat three Republican state Senators in the key round of six GOP senate recalls last week.
I don’t see any of the networks carrying it. Not even cspan
Thanks! ;)
And yes, you ARE going to win this one!
Got it..thanks Mesta.
BTW not tuned in either, would hope Fox would carry it. We know FR will!
Bump.
We’ve won every battle. Finally, we’ve had enough! More states are going to follow our model. Enough is enough. We aren’t going to be ruled by a small crowd anymore. Same as 2012. We’ve had it with the feds. All of you rinos are getting the pink slip. Americans are fed up with it all. Keep the rhetoric going. We’re seeing through it all.
bump
