Senators Targeted For Recall To Submit Challenges

Posted Thursday, February 9, 2012 --- 7:00 a.m.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Four Republican state senators targeted for recall are expected to submit their challenges to the signatures that could result in voiding any elections.

Thursday was the deadline for the senators to make any challenges to petitions filed with the Government Accountability Board.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald has said he plans on challenging enough to stop the recall election against him.

The other three senators haven't said how many signatures they will challenge. Those targeted senators are Van Wanggaard of Racine, Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls and Pam Galloway of Wausau.

Once submitted, it's then up to the GAB to determine whether there are enough valid signatures to continue with the elections.

Gov. Scott Walker has until Feb. 27 to submit his challenges.

Fitzgerald has been and will do everything he can so as to not face the people of his district. He is afraid his overbearing and inappropriate, if not unethical, actions have turned people against him. He knows he has turned his back on his constituents and is not man enough to stand up and face the people.

I guess if these folks were so sure they would survive a recall then way not just let the election happen instead of trying to stop it. I guess that shows how they are really feeling. They know they are done and that they will be bounced out.
