Yet Another Roadblock By Republicans To Walker's Recall
The partisan game-playing by Republicans with the Wisconsin electoral process continues unabated as the effort to recall Scott Walker edges ever closer.
On top of first-ever signature notarization requirements, now a GOP official has offered up yet another obstacle:
Separate recall petitions and thus double the signature work and notarization hassles, too, for both Walker and sidekick Rebecca Kleefisch, the TV-reporter-turned-Tea Party Lt. Gov., according to Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen - - - - though they ran together.
So, 1,080,000 signatures are needed to both recall Walker and ensure that Kleefisch can't somehow sneak into the office.

I'm more concerned that there will be an about-face down the road - "On further review the petitions should have read Walker AND Kleefisch, so they're all invalid". Just feels like a setup either way.
It would be interesting to see Rebecca try to actually govern if they are able to slip her in. "I'm pretty and I drive a minivan" will only take you so far.
Seriously???
This only makes sense to have separate recalls. They are separate offices held by different individuals.
Given the assumption that everybody on the left wants to recall both Walker and Rebecca, what would be the process if the left only wanted to recall one of these individuals from office
That would not be possible under a joint recall.
Separate recalls are the correct call.
Seperate recall processes shouldn't be a huge problem. It's as easy to sign two petitions as it is to sign one.
There's really no need to recall her. She woudn't be able to replace Walker if he resigns anyway- well unless he appoints her. Don't know.
