SSDC: All Four Senate Recalls Will Take Place

Madison - Republican Senators challenging the validity recall elections, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald will all face recall elections. After our analysis of the signature challenges, there is a huge discrepancy between their challenges versus the legality of those challenges. Clearly, the Republicans in each of the senate districts were grasping for straws, and wasting tax payer money in delaying their fate.

Zac Kramer, Executive Director for the State Senate Democratic Committee said, “We knew from the get-go that their challenges were misleading, and, now once again decided their control of state government was more important than the millions of working class people that have been disenfranchised throughout this process.

“From fraudulent recall challenges, secrecy pacts, and lying to the working class families about their distorted balanced budget, Republican’s continue to play partisan politics on the backs of Wisconsinites from Racine to Chippewa Falls, and Beaver Dam to Mosinee.  The numbers below do not lie, it’s simple arithmetic.”

The data below concludes the Democratic rebuttal to the challenges sent to the GAB by Republicans.

As you can see, the GOP never once got below the threshold, either before or after we had a chance to complete a factual review of their challenges:
