Supreme Court Recount
As of 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 5, the Government Accountability Board reports that approximately 75% of the ballots for Supreme Court Justice have been recounted. See the GAB Web site for recount information.
Legislator Recalls
Nine of the 18 recall committees registered with the Government Accountability Board (GAB) have filed petitions, and claimed to have the required number of signatures required for a recall election.
The senators subject to these potential recalls include six Republicans (Robert Cowles, Alberta Darling, Sheila Harsdorf, Randy Hopper, Dan Kapanke, and Luther Olsen) and three Democrats (Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin, and Robert Wirch ). The petitions are currently being reviewed for sufficiency by GAB. The GAB site also shows the recall committees that did not file the necessary signatures by their respective deadlines.
On May 5, GAB alerted local officials of its plan to schedule recall elections on July 12, 2011.
