Board sets three more recall elections for July 12
By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel

Madison - State election officials ordered July 12 recall elections on Monday for three Republican state senators.

The Government Accountability Board voted unanimously to schedule the recall elections against Sens. Dan Kapanke of La Crosse, Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen of Ripon.

Next week it will consider recall petitions against six other senators. In all, citizens are seeking to recall nine senators - six Republicans and three Democrats - for their stances on the fight over Gov. Scott Walker's plan to greatly limit the ability of public employees to engage in labor negotiations.

The elections would be held July 12. If more than one candidate challenges a senator, the July 12 election would be treated as a primary, with a general election Aug. 9.

The elections could be halted, or greatly delayed, with legal action.
