BREAKING: June 12th for Recall Elections? Leftists heads explode

No surprise from the left, they bitch about everything. If they said the election was in April, they'd bitch that isn't enough time. May, please not during finals. July, August, September, October, they're all bad for them becasue they can't win. So quit your bitching, your the ones who called for the damn things. They know they have no shot anyway, so now when they get crushed, Tate, Zielinski, etc. will blame it on the date. They know their only chance is to facebook the kids in the dorms to vote in exchange for free pizza and live music, but that won't be happening. Good luck getting 45% with Falk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GAB says four GOP senators will face recall; wants June 12 election date Wisconsin election officials want recalls against Gov. Scott Walker and five other Republicans to have a May 15 primary and a June 12 general election. On Friday, the state Government Accountability Board also said Democrats and recall organizers turned in enough valid signatures to force four Republican state senators into recall elections. A memo released Friday by GAB staff said recall organizers gathered thousands more valid signatures on recall petitions than the minimum number required to force recall elections against Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Sens. Pam Galloway, Terry Moulton and Van Wanggaard. The senators had challenged thousands of signatures over a range of issues. But the GAB memo said staff members reviewed the names and did not find enough invalid signatures to block the elections from happening. Democrats trying to oust Walker, the four senators and Republican Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch said they will fight to have the elections earlier. "This is outrageous. The less (election officials) have to do, the more time they ask for," said Graeme Zielinski, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. "It doesn't look like they are doing their job. We will oppose this." And Scot Ross, a spokesman for Democratic candidate Kathleen Falk, said the move would disenfranchise thousands of university students across Wisconsin who face a stricter, 28-day residency requirement due to the new voter ID law. "We will pursue any and all means available to ensure Wisconsin's university students are not disenfranchised by this unjustified and unnecessary delay," Ross said. Spokespeople for Walker's campaign and the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment, but Republican Party of Wisconsin spokesman Ben Sparks urged the GAB to continue its efforts to hold all of the recall elections on the same day, which elections officials have said they will try to do to keep costs down. The elections board will discuss the suggested dates and signature challenges at a Monday meeting, and a hearing on the matter is scheduled for Wednesday.
