Democrats/Unions: "We don't care, it's not OUR money".

Sez juan: Its not a recount is authorized by law or something like that. Oh wait, it is. The recall of the 4 senators will incur costs of elections including primaries and runoffs if required, and that will be millions of dollars since they will be held in four distinct districts.

Why would the republicans even consider that? Correct me if I'm wrong but they kicked the Dems ass in the last election.

While conservative activists have hinted that they have achieved enough signatures to recall Democratic members of the Senate, they have yet to file any petitions with the GAB. Democrats have now filed three, and they started their efforts a bit later than Republicans.

And last week, Milwaukee County Elections Deputy Administrator Suzette Emmer said a recount in Milwaukee County alone could cost as much as $500,000 because of programming costs for voting machines and reimbursement to municipal clerks for their assistance.

But Kevin Kennedy, director of the Government Accountability Board, said last week that a statewide recount would cost more than $1 million.

The GAB won’t certify the election until a recount is concluded.

“We have been preparing for a recount since Election Night,” Kennedy said Wednesday in a statement. “We have assembled an internal team to direct the recount, we have been in close consultation with our county clerk partners, and have arranged for legal representation by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.”

During Wednesday’s news conference, Kloppenburg repeatedly shied away from saying whether she thought a recount would lead her to victory.

Wisconsin Fleebagger Recall Petitions Stolen From Office
APRIL 18, 2011

This is pretty convenient. Just hours after organizers announced they had enough signatures to go ahead with a recall of Democratic state senator Dave Hansen, their offices were broken into and the recall petitions were stolen:

Police in Green Bay are looking into a burglary at an office used by a group seeking to recall Democratic State Senator Dave Hansen.

Authorities say it most likely happened between 5 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. on Friday.

In an e-mail, group organizer David Vander Leest says petitions, t-shirts and a computer were taken from the office at 1136 West.

Now who do you suppose would have an interest in seeing those petitions disappear?

WASHINGTON -- In an effort to gather enough signatures to trigger recall elections of state senators in Wisconsin, some backers are turning to peculiar, unconventional and, it appears, even intoxicating means.

The Wisconsin Democratic Party is planning to file a complaint to the state Government Accountability Board alleging that a Republican signature-gatherer offered alcoholic beverages to a group of women to get them to sign a recall petition against a Democratic state senator.
