Can the legislature ram through gerrymandered maps before the recall process gets underway and Republicans risk losing their senate majority? Recall elections would be in June or July.

Probably, yes. They'd need to move fast of course - on everything.

These are going to be off-season elections, with unpredictable turnout. What are the requirements for the recall?

So, that's what I've gathered. In particular, you don't need any more votes that were cast for the winners last November: if 5% turn out and 51% of that votes for somebody other than the incumbent, the incumbent's out. Which means that if turnout is low - and how high can it be in July of an odd-numbered year? - GOTV is going to decide a lot. For once, the unions might, in fact, be quite relevant Smiley
