Well, the Democrats have now filed four recall petitions against Republican State Senators.
In all four cases, organizers collected far more signatures than the roughly 15,000 needed, and did so weeks ahead of the deadline.You may recall that the Republicans said they'd be trying to gather signatures to recall several Democratic State Senators; so far they've filed none. Now, they could be sandbagging, waiting to turn in all their signatures at one time, so I hesitate to read too much into that lack, but it's nonetheless encouraging that the Dems have gotten far more signatures than they need to force recall elections on at least four of Governor Walker's lackeys.
