DescriptionThe head of the Wisconsin state elections board recommended Friday that recall elections proceed against four Republican state senators and that they take place on May 15 and June 12.

Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy said in his recommendation to the full board that his staff found enough valid signatures to trigger recall elections for the senators but is still examining signatures on petitions seeking the recall of Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, who are also Republicans.

Kennedy said the proposed election dates make the most sense given the remaining verification work and other timing concerns related to the proximity of the state's April 3 presidential primaries.
