With Prosser Absent, The GOP Went Judge-Shopping
And moved its redistricting case to the friendly confines of Waukesha County Circuit Court, where it might find sympathetic treatment for its redistricting case, and if it is appealed, would work its way to the Supreme Court when Prosser is presumably back from his medical leave.
New Republican theme song, by the way.

That was my take, too. Can't have an evenly-divided Supreme Court when Waukesha County awaits.
The people being represented should be the ones who vote.
Why should someone outside the district be able to vote for my representative.
He/She will be representing ME, not the former constituent who no longer lives in that district.
What if the recall was in 3 years into a term? Should the voters still come from the old district?
This is such an absurd comedy put on by the Republicons. Even the most conservative judges must be chuckling at these extremists trying to change the very laws they ( the Republicons) created just a few months ago. If I were a Republicon I would truly be embarrassed right now.
REAGAN- you make an interesting point yet the same point could be applied to the voters who elected them. You would think that one must give the vote to those who put this individual in office in the first place.They voted for this individual based on his platforms and have the right to recall him/her if they went against the voters wishes.The vote that put them in office must take priority over possible future voters. Besides, the redistricting won't hold up in federal court. It's incredibly disenfranchising to 300,000 voters.
Advantage, Trotter.
" On this issue, we think the Democrats have the stronger case. Voters who elected a lawmaker in the first place should have the chance to vote in a recall election for or against that lawmaker. Basic fairness shouldn't be a casualty of the decennial redistricting process.". JS ONLINE
As I said, advantage Trotter. And an extra point for commenting with his real name.
