Madison - A Dane County judge granted state election officials a week to determine whether three Democratic senators should be recalled, but declined to delay recall elections for six Republican senators.
The judge's order means the state Government Accountability Board will have to formally certify the recall elections for July 12 for the six Republicans later Friday. Any recall elections for three Democratic senators would be held a week later, on July 19.

where’s all the outrage???
And, yes, this should include the Governorship as well.
I hope your mother’s case is multiply by 1,000’s.
This brings up the idea of recalling judges by impeachment or re-ordering/re-districting through legislative means. I hope it does not come to this, but the activists judges must feel the pain, politically, for their errant ways.
Everyone needs to look at the link in the Website for “2011 state Senate recalls at a glance” and notice that the 3 Democrats being recalled have multiple R challengers, implying a runoff will possibly occur in each. Is this some kind of underhanded trick by dems to use as a spoiler or time waster?
Per UPI a couple of days ago the judge who was to decide this is John W. Markson.
Not sure why JS Online didn’t mention that.
Ever the optimist, I see a possible unintended advantage for the Pubbies. Essentially they are looking at two elections in the span of a week with all eligible voters, regardless of party, being able to vote in both.
The first election involves recalls of six Republicans which means win, lose or draw voters that support the Pubbies will know in short order what the score is a week before the recall votes for the three Dems. So if somehow two or three Pubbies lose there is the distinct advantage of ginning up enough outrage to overcome any pro-Dem voters in the subsequent vote. Granted there is a visa-versa aspect to this but if the Pubbies can hold their seats then the second vote would ironically be an opportunity for a pickup(s).
Also: Notice how the Dems are showing no concern for the elderly and/or minority voters that supposedly have to overcome the stiff obstacles the Dems always proclaim (when raging against voter ID) not once but twice. And how much more will the cost be to get the election apparatus through it’s paces twice? And let’s not even think about the inevitable legal wrangling after the initial dust settles.
Last: I truly believe that there is a strong underlying voter outrage that elected Prosser by a small but insurmountable margin and has been heating up even more due to the two month inane legal wrangling put forward by The Klopper.
I second every point you made.
i hope you are correct...
6th paragraph---
Markson on Friday gave the board another week - until June 10 - to review the petitions for the Democrats.
Yep, I just had an email conversation with the author. He said he didn’t put the judge’s name that far down in the article.
“That means that it is made up entirely of activist Democrats and brain dead, senile Republicans. s/off”
Ah! Sort of like a Sunday AM talk-show panel! Now I understand.
There’s not one area of Wisconsin government (state, local, judiciary) that the unions have not corrupted.
Hopper is done. Tons of government workers in his district plus he has the problem of living with his girlfriend while still married and reporting his wife’s house as his address.
Darling is a moderate and is lazy. Not much fight in her and she’s a real coaster. I was at a small fundraiser with her a couple months back and people were just yelling at her and she just kept falling back that Walker should back her and she wouldn’t campaign - doing my job, blah blah. I was very unimpressed.
Kapanke would seem to be in good shakes. Kind is a very good candidate for the Dems (all-american, sports star, smart guy), and Kapanke was within 4 points.
Harsdorf is a nothing race.

Running fake primary challengers is standard Dem playbook.
Frankly, I find it to be effective strategy.
In conservative Ozaukee county, we ended up with a school board member as our assemblyman in a special election.
I don’t know enough about the guy to say for sure, but am willing to default against any school board member in any election. I have yet to find one that isn’t a crook and union tool among those who stick with it.
Democrats refuse to do their job, and judges protect them.
Republicans do their job and judges undermine them.
Time to recall some judges.
Our Republicans are not saying anything about this.
They are not doing anythign about this.
The governor needs to abolish the current GAB board.
The legislature needs to remove these judges for bad conduct.
They won’t do it. Short of direct overthrow we are run by pussies and commies.
Everybody will be focused on the first election (Republicans), and then will forget about the election a week later (didn't we, like, just vote?).
The delay for Democrats was only about splitting the elections over two weeks. Republicans should make this an equal protection argument. Elections for all parties are held on the same day, except for the occasional party primary.

Actually this is normal for Wisconsin.
The dems have the judges, the unions, and Madison, and Milwaukee!
Now, the pubies are trying to undo all of this bs, and some judge puts another bump in the road.
I hope these a$$holes end up steeling the taxpayers resolve, else we will go back to socialist rule again.
And Socialism is really communism without the gun pointing at your head.
I was driving around Vilas county and can now say that “Simac for Senate” signs are poping up more and more!
I get my sign and stickers on Monday!
