lets get those SOB's....Independent state reviews of the petitions to recall Republican Senators Randy Hopper and Luther Olsen found enough valid signatures to force an election, a Wisconsin Government Accountability Board spokesperson said Monday.

GAB staff verified 23,127 signatures to recall Hopper, R-Fond du Lac, and 22,381 signatures to recall Olsen, R-Ripon, spokesperson Reid Magney said.

Petitioners needed 15,269 signatures to recall Hopper and 14,733 signatures to recall Olsen.

GAB staff are still reviewing challenges submitted by both senators before the full board is scheduled to order another election on May 23, Magney said.

If approved, the election would take place on July 12.
