Wisconsin Lawmakers May Change Recall Rules

Wisconsin Republican lawmakers signaled that they will likely give Gov. Scott Walker (R) authority “over how recall petitions can be gathered, just as Democrats gear up to recall him next year,” the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

“The move would allow Walker to halt a policy developed by nonpartisan election officials that, at least in theory, could make it easier for groups to gather signatures to recall the governor, as well as legislators from either party.”
