Laid-off teacher Shelly Moore is running against Harsdorf. Sounds like kind of a weak recruit in comparison to the succession of state representatives that have been announcing lately.

Dem targets finally get opponents: Recall petition organizer Kim Simac is running against Holperin, while Brown County Board Vice Chair Mary Scray is running against Hansen.

I've also updated and reorganized the OP.

Robert Wirch has an opponent, the vice chair of the Kenosha County Board. Robert Cowles is the only Senator facing recall who doesn't have an opponent yet.

Former Brown County supervisor Rich Langan is running against Cowles, which gives all the recalled Senators opponents.

Shortest campaign ever: Langan has dropped out and it looks like Democrats are instead running former Brown County Executive Nancy Nusbaum.

Also, the final outstanding recall effort, against Julie Lassa, failed.

Two more opponents to Dem Senators: an attorney is running against Wirch, while the chair of the Lincoln County Board is running against Holperin. That means there are going to be primaries on the Republican side for all three Democratic seats.

No, it's just like a regular election.

Yes to both of your questions. It's basically treated just like a special election. It's not like the California recall where there was a yes/no question then an open ballot. However, I don't think there have been any independents talking about running.

Election set for Hopper, Kapanke, and Olson: July 12. Apparently this election becomes a primary if there's more than one opposing candidate, then the general would be on August 9. Confusing.

Another Republican joins the clown car in Hansen's district, the recall organizer. That makes three Republicans running there.

Redistricting is not supposed to be possible until the fall, though the Republicans have been trying to figure out a way to get around it.

Recalls against Cowles, Darling, and Harsdorf approved, but it's vague as to when the elections will be.

Can't say I'm surprised at this, it's an obvious idea.

Fake Democrat running in Harsdorf's district. If they're going to do this, maybe they should be a little more subtle, i.e. not going with people who have run as a Republican before.

Here they go again; a former member of the La Crosse County Republican Party's executive committee is running as a Democrat in Kapanke's district.

Recalls of the three Democratic Senators are approved. All the Republican seats are apparently going to be up on July 12, but the Democratic seats are going to be up a week after, on July 19.

The cavalcade of fake Democrats continues. A former Republican member of the assembly is running in Cowles' district.

No idea, there's no information about it on the GAB website.

For some reason, the group that organized the Republican recalls is thinking of running fake Republicans against the Republican incumbents. I have no idea why.

They probably haven't verified the petitions yet. I fixed the link (it broke), it now shows signatures for a few of the candidates.

It was yesterday for the Republican recalls, presumably it will be next Tuesday for the Democratic recalls.

Tommy Thompson spilled the beans on an internal poll that had Harsdorf ahead by 2 points, 49-47.
