MADISON, Wisc. — Recall signatures are expected to be filed in Madison this week against a sixth Republican state senator, a representative of the recall campaign said Tuesday.
Meanwhile, another recall campaign targeting a Democratic senator missed its deadline Tuesday for filing signatures to force the senator into an election.
Come Thursday, when the campaign to recall Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) is expected to file, that will leave at least nine state senators – six Republicans and three Democrats – with recall signatures filed against them and facing possible elections.
In all, three Democrats, and possibly four, have now escaped having signatures filed, and at least three campaigns are still active – against two Republicans and a Democrat.
