An older, white haired Democratic state senator targeted because he left the state to keep Republicans from getting a quorum on anti-union legislation has won the recall election the GOP called to punish him by gaining over 60% of the vote according a WHBL radio report Democratic Sen. Dave Hansen wins recall election.
.
His opponent, a younger more Paul Ryanesque figure ("look I work out 7 days a week!") didn't even garner a number of votes to equal the number of signatures in his the petition to insert him into the recall (a little over 15k). (WI should check up on those missing petition signers. I'm wondering if some of them were named Daffy Duck.) WHBL report then notes obligingly that the Republican challenger, David Vanderleest, wasn't the first choice of most recall signers. But if the most popular wasn't able to prove she had valid recall signatures then she isn't actually the front runner is she? One wonders about the editorial policy at the news radio relaying this report.
Still the facts remain that the Democratic senator will stay in office. And 6 Republicans face recall next month.
It's going to get interesting.
