Buried in this article is a bit of information about when the recalls will take place:

You know for the dems holding the recalls in July is a terrible idea.

Here is some more chatter about the recall elections for you.

Good article, besides the disgusting boasting about Scott Walker "being vindicated" when his goons in relatively safe districts are in trouble. The reason Democrats aren't going after the Republicans on collective bargaining is that non-unionized swing voters don't care about it as much as the education cuts and public workers are already more than sufficiently fired about it.

None of these districts are bastions of unions. Kapanke's district is rural farmland that's been progressive since the late 1800s, Darling's is a mix of posh urban neighborhoods and exurbs that care little about "union rights" and much more about their education system etc. Democrats are only avoiding collective bargaining because these are red districts and swing voters are more likely to be swayed by their child's education being gutted than public worker's complaining about something that doesn't affect them.

Not exactly, La crosse is a college town of 50k in the city limits and is the center of the district. What you said is about right for the rest of the district though.

What part of Racine is in Wirch's district?

Some small town in the corner called Burlington.

What is that like politically? Is that over or under performance for Wirch there?

Slight over I believe.

Didnt PPP put out a 55-43 Holperin lead? That's mighty close to 54-46

55-41. Florence is the strongest GOP county in the district and has yet to report.

It also has only 4k people.

Since these are "just another election" where anyone can file and challenge the incumbent, can another Republican just declare for Galloway's seat, or does the resignation cancel the recall since Galloway is gone, with Galloway being replaced by a special election?

The GAB says the recall will go on ahead just without her, and yes I am pretty sure any republican can file to run. Though I am not sure how you recall someone who is no longer there... so I wouldn't be shocked if the recall gets cancelled and a special election happens instead.
