They could run a recall election against him in 1 year, and with the new district drawing, they could easily beat him.
Of course, that assumes a judge doesn’t force them to run the recall using the old maps.
Map changes for staggered elections are strange, because it means some people don’t get to vote at all, and others get to vote for their new representative while another representative they voted for remains in office.

Additionally, the ability to renumber districts during redistricting, combined with the staggered elections, would have allowed the legislature to declare, for example, that the SD-22 that is up in 2012 (represented by Robert Wirch) now comprised the rural and suburban areas in Racine and Kenosha Counties, which would result in the GOP picking up the seat in 2012, while allowing Wanggaard to stay until 2014 as senator of an SD-21 that would include urban Racine and Kenosha (and which would vote him out in 2014, but not until the GOP held both Racine/Kenosha seats for two years).
WI should amend its constitution so that, like other states with staggered senate elections, districts that aren’t up for a four-year term in the election following redistricting have to hold an election for a two-year term that would place the seat back on its normal schedule. So, for example, the SD-21, which held its last election in 2010, would hold an election for a two-year term in 2012 (which would allow it to hold an election for a four-year term in 2014, 2018, 2022, etc.), while the SD-22, which last had an election in 2008, would hold a regular election for a four-year term in 2012 (and then would hold elections for four-year terms in 2016 and 2020, but, after the lines are redraewn again, would hold an election for a two-year term in 2022).
I’d try to recall any rat in 2014 seat we could beat as soon as it was possible unless the rats and unions swore on their children’s lives that they were done trying to recall our people.
I’m not known for tact.
