Wisconsin law requires petitioners to number 25% of the number voting in the election in question.

It is ridiculous to me that 25% of the number that voted can overturn an election in which 100% of the number voted.

There is no way in the world that 25% should overthrow an election. That 25% number might make sense for enabling petitioners to force an issue on the ballot that asks the full electorate to approve a recall election.

What’s taking place in Wisconsin is a travesty of law and logic, imho.

Good points and a recall, if one even should exist, should happen only for criminal acts. This is creating electoral chaos and a kind of democracy.
