GAB to consider challenges to recall candidates
The Government Accountability Board will meet this afternoon to consider the challenges filed against four of the six GOP candidates who want to face Dem senators in recall elections.
The challenges against Robert Lussow and Kim Simac in Sen. Jim Holperin's 12th SD and Rep. John Nygren and David VanderLeest in the Sen. Dave Hansen's 30th SD seek to knock the Republicans off the ballot for various alleged deficiencies in their nomination papers.
Responses from the GOP candidates were due by 8 a.m. today, and a spokesman for Senate Republicans said each campaign was responding to the challenges individually.
The responses for Nygren, R-Marinette, and VanderLeest, of Green Bay, are posted here.
