[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1810509, member: 6845"] None that I recall so that proves what?!?!? Anyone can start the recall petition and the signature requirements are not that hard to meet. To get the recall on the ballot you only need 25% of the total votes cast for the election of the person you are trying to recall was involved. So the democrats can pretty much get any recall they want started since the numbers are not that big. So the fact that they were able to get the Recall vote is not a big deal. It is also not hard to understand that Senate districts are larger than House districts, easily contain more people, and easier to hit the required signatures. There were 2,158,723 votes in the 2010 governor's election. So Democrats only needed 539681 or 53.7% of the 1,005,008 Democrats who voted in the 2010 governnor's election to sign the petition. If everyone signed along party lines, the Democrats should have had no problem getting the number of required signatures and that was proven when they were able to get several recalls to primaries/elections. Besides the fact that the House was not as big of a target as the Senate since the Senate was the one who really pushed the union collective bargaining stuff. I guess you also missed the fact the districts have been redrawn and are said to favor the Republicans. Only two of the newly drawn districts were rejected and have to be redrawn so that won't affect much. So I am not sure that the war will be what you think but even if it is the Republicans are already motivated and formed after defeating most of the recalls. [/QUOTE]
