They can't start the redistricting process until all of the wards (i.e. precincts) in the state are created. It's not going to be possible until this fall at the earliest.

Interesting, I did not know that. Is that a Wisconsin state law or procedure or custom?

I'm assuming it's a law since wards are Wisconsin's equivalent of precincts/voting districts.

Uh, Prosser failed to even get 43% in Kapanke's district. There just aren't enough Republicans in that district to save Kapanke.

So by that logic, Kloppenburg failed to get even 45% in Holperin's district, so he should be toast, right?  After all, there just aren't enough Democrats in that district to save Holperin.

Except I forgot - recalls only run one way - Democrats good, Republicans bad.

Honestly, I think by the time the recall actually comes around, a lot of the furor will be gone and most if not all of the incumbents will remain in office.  And there are still potential primaries to come - on both sides.

Uh, that seems more like an argument that Holperin is also vulnerable (which I don't think anyone disputes) than that Kapanke is safe.

I should also note we actually have polling from Kapanke's seat showing him far behind.
