Key Wisconsin Republican Opposes Change To Recall Law

[nadinbrzezinski]

An effort by Wisconsin Republicans to make things harder for Democrats in any potential new state Senate recalls in the coming year appears to be out of the running — with state Sen. Dale Schultz, a moderate Republican who holds a key swing vote in the 17-16 chamber, announcing that he will vote against the measure.

The Associated Press reports that Schultz will vote against a bill that would make new recalls apply under the newly-redrawn districts — which were passed as part of a Republican-friendly map, following a GOP takeover of state government in 2010 — instead of the older districts:

Thank you Senator Shultz

1. It would only be logical that any changes would be based on current districts.

Since the new districts don't go into effect until elections are held and the elected politicians take office.

Of course, logic is not a trait of theirs.

Even if they have a vote and it fails the Democrats need to do a blitz on what they tried to do. And they need to be very effective in explaining why it was wrong and I would say the courts would had reversed.

2. I knew it would be Dale. Too many People dismissed the recall outcome....

...as a failure because we didn't win three seats and flip the Senate. But we won two seats, and with Dale once again showing his distaste for the extremism in his party, IT MATTERS A WHOLE BUNCH. IT'S A BFD!!!
