GAB certifies Kapanke recall election
The Government Accountability Board this morning certified the recall election for GOP state Sen. Dan Kapanke, ordering the staff to set a July 12 election.
The board rejected Kapanke's legal challenge to the recall effort. While it also knocked out 92 signatures from the recall petitions, 21,776 valid signatures remained, well above the 15,588 needed.
The board was set to consider the petitions filed against GOP Sens. Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen of Ripon later today. The staff has recommended certifying those elections as well.
