Should All Wisconsin Taxpayers Be Forced To Pay For Recall Election?

[paulitician]

This Poll is very close. Is it an indication of things to come in the Election? Will it be as close as this Poll is?

I think this is a fair & important question. We all know Unions,Democrats, and George Soros are behind the Recall effort against Governor Scott Walker. So should all Wisconsin Taxpayers be forced to fund it?

Only the Taxpayers who are in favor of the Recall should pay for it.

If they want it, let them pay

And only the taxpayers who were in favor of invading Iraq should pay for it.

It is the laws of Wisconsin, it is written and there is no provision on who pays, the criteria to trigger a recall happened and now all Wisconsin pays, if they want to change the law, that is up to the voters of Wisconsin.

Exactly how is the provision worded? We don't like what he did is not exactly justification for it unless what he did was criminal.

Since it was not.......I'll ask one more time. How exactly is it worded? We the people reserve the right to recall our elected leaders for any reason, at any time?

Basically.

Wisconsin Constitution Article XIII, Section 12

(1) The recall petition shall be signed by electors equalling at least twenty-five percent of the vote cast for the office of governor at the last preceding election, in the state, county or district which the incumbent represents.

Note the complete lack of a qualifying reason.

Post the whole thing.

The rest is just mechanics for operating the election.

(2) The filing officer with whom the recall petition is filed shall call a recall election for the Tuesday of the 6th week after the date of filing the petition or, if that Tuesday is a legal holiday, on the first day after that Tuesday which is not a legal holiday.

(3) The incumbent shall continue to perform the duties of the office until the recall election results are officially declared.

(4) Unless the incumbent declines within 10 days after the filing of the petition, the incumbent shall without filing be deemed to have filed for the recall election. Other candidates may file for the office in the manner provided by law for special elections. For the purpose of conducting elections under this section:

(a) When more than 2 persons compete for a nonpartisan office, a recall primary shall be held. The 2 persons receiving the highest number of votes in the recall primary shall be the 2 candidates in the recall election, except that if any candidate receives a majority of the total number of votes cast in the recall primary, that candidate shall assume the office for the remainder of the term and a recall election shall not be held.

(b) For any partisan office, a recall primary shall be held for each political party which is by law entitled to a separate ballot and from which more than one candidate competes for the party's nomination in the recall election. The person receiving the highest number of votes in the recall primary for each political party shall be that party's candidate in the recall election. Independent candidates and candidates representing political parties not entitled by law to a separate ballot shall be shown on the ballot for the recall election only.

(c) When a recall primary is required, the date specified under sub. (2) shall be the date of the recall primary and the recall election shall be held on the Tuesday of the 4th week after the recall primary or, if that Tuesday is a legal holiday, on the first day after that Tuesday which is not a legal holiday.

(5) The person who receives the highest number of votes in the recall election shall be elected for the remainder of the term.

(6) After one such petition and recall election, no further recall petition shall be filed against the same officer during the term for which he was elected.

(7) This section shall be self-executing and mandatory. Laws may be enacted to facilitate its operation but no law shall be enacted to hamper, restrict or impair the right of recall. [1923 J.R. 73, 1925 J.R. 16, 1925 c. 270, vote Nov. 1926; 1979 J.R. 41, 1981 J.R. 6, vote April 1981]

SECTION 12. [Recall of elective officers.] The qualified electors of the state of any congressional, judicial or legislative district or of a county may petition for the recall of any incumbent elective officer after the first year of the term for which the incumbent was elected, by filing a petition with the filing officer with whom the nomination petition to the office in the primary is filed, demanding the recall of the incumbent.

So, he is correct. No crime has to be committed. However, in the future post the whole thing. It makes you look dishonest.

It makes me look dishonest because I didn't quote the long portion spelling out the mechanical details?

20/18. Very close. Today should be very interesting.

 

[Katzndogz]

If Walker wins, there will the recount, and then the second recall.

 

[paulitician]

With a criminal like Eric Holder overseeing it, nothing will surprise me. Stay tuned.

According to the loons you missing criminal charges in there somewhere. Deomcrats, you know, those folks who want cooperation.

I hear ya, but not a good way to get back in the good graces of Wisconsin Taxpayers. I think the Unions/Democrats really blew this one. But we'll see i guess.

I am curious of how many incidents of intimidation we'll hear about today?
