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 
No its not really a recall, so much as a do-over.
The incumbent is just another candidate. The only thing special is that he doesn't have to actually file for election. He goes on the ballot, unless he resigns. Everyone else files just like it was a special election. It's not everyone vs. the incumbent, its everyone for themselves. There can be an extra round of primaries if more than one candidate files for a party nomination. Since each election is separate, these may really get strung out.
Schedule is like this: 60 days to gather petitions; 31 days to validate (and it appears like this part can get pushed into court real easily); 6 weeks until the election; but if a primary is needed, then it takes the place of the special election, and the special election is 4 weeks after that. We're easily past the start of the fiscal biennium before anything is resolved.
The recall law applies to all elected officials (even federal officials, but that is probably not enforceable). You could possibly see bunches of school board members and county officials facing recall elections when they start firing people.
