The elections for Sens. Dan Kapanke of La Crosse, Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen of Ripon would be July 12, if the Government Accountability Board goes along with its staff.

In a set of recommendations posted Friday on the board's website, director and general counsel Kevin Kennedy and elections division administrator Nathaniel Robinson asked the board to reject Republican challenges to the legality of petitions filed against the three senators.

They agreed with lawyers for the three Republicans on some of the individual signatures the lawyers challenged but didn't find enough faulty signatures to bring the petitions below the number needed for an election.

Petitions have also been submitted to force recalls for three other Republican and three Democratic State Senators. Those petitions are expected to be ruled on May 31 or June 1.

1. Bad headline.

It's 3 WI Republicans.

2. Fixed, thanks.

3. Three more to be approved....

and the challenges against the petitions filed against the three Democratic Senators have an excellent chance of succeeding thanks to the involvement of the Utah scam group.
