I thought we already saw the outcome of the Senate “recalls” a few months back. What’s this story about?

I stopped paying attention, but if I recall correctly, they had to wait one year in office before they could recall a seat. The first wave of recalls were for the incumbants who were already in office. This wave is for people who won in 2010?

The best way to stop a recall is to turn out in mass to vote during the general elections. Recalls only work because the signature threshold is so low when the general turnout is low. If the general election turnout is high, then it is almost impossible to get enough signatures to force a recall.
