After a brief but bruising
campaign that followed a more than yearlong fight over union rights and
the state’s cash-strapped budget, voters in a narrowly divided
Wisconsin began casting ballots Tuesday on whether to recall Gov. Scott
Walker.
Opponents of Wisconsin’s
Republican Gov. Scott Walker submitted nearly twice as many signatures Tuesday
as required to force a recall election, but still face the challenge of
transforming public outrage over his moves against unions into actual votes to
oust him from office.
