About wisconsin's supposed dislike of recall elections & belief recalls are only for malfeasance

39. which part of Wisconsin do you live in?

The reason I ask is because in the part of the State I live in (a pretty purple part right in the middle of the State) this is the #1 reason I have heard against voting for the recall. I also was saying this in the days before the recall happened (so it wasn't a last minute talking point). I know I am a new poster here, but I am not generally comfortable talking on line, so I only read, but this week since I was in the middle of the election I decided to add my voice.

None of these recalls listed above were state wide, so they may have been more "personal". In other words, people in the individual districts may have felt more upset against an individual vote than the full policy difference they had with Governor Walker. Until last year, Senator Luther Olsen (my rep) was the first recall I ever was a part of.

People also were VERY vocal about hating the idea of a "do over". Maybe if it wasn't Barrett, things would have turned out differently, but, as I have been saying for the past week, people in the middle of the State just didn't feel as "violated" as others apparently did. I truly think that if Senator Feingold would have gotten in the race, we would be having a MUCH different conversation.
