The state Government Accountability Board has certified the recall election for three Republican state Senators. GAB staffer David Buerger explained that while 92 signatures from the recall petitions against Senator Dan Kapanke of La Crosse were invalid, more than enough remained. “There is still more than enough signatures, and that will be true for all of the petitions we are reviewing here today,” said Buerger. The board rejected Kapanke’s legal challenge to the recall effort, and set a July 12 election. GAB also certified recalls against Senators Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac and Luther Olsen of Ripon.
