The Day Scott Walker Could Have Ended His Candidacy In The Recall
"That means what Biskupic claimed as a defense is precisely the inversion of the statute. State statute is clear, BECAUSE Scott Walker was the official whom the recall was filed against, he is the candidate for recall prior to April 9th, AND, and that the latest he could END his candidacy was by resigning on or before that date. April 9th IS NOT the day his candidacy started. It is however, the last day he could have ended it. Officially.
Granted, Walker could resign at any time and no longer be candidate or governor. But for matters of sufficiency and order FOR THE RECALL, not the candidates, April 9th was the latest date Walker could have ended his candidacy.
Truth is, we are splitting hairs over dates and definitions over what is or isn't and that is the spinning wheel prosecutor Schmitz quickly brought to a halt.
But for the sake of this argument, I think WHEN a person is assumed running for elective office, under certain circumstances, can be determined by popular public knowledge as defined by the person's intent and actions, and left up to the "candidate" to deny, opt out or resign. However, all incumbents should be assumed a candidate for the office they serve AND also the candidate for recall, up until the day they resign or say otherwise."
