Scott Walker ordered to hold Special Elelection for 2 vacant seats.....


Gov. Scott Walker has been ordered to hold a special Election for 2 vacant seats. Opposing such a move, Walker is on record saying that his party would lose, given the successes Democrats are having winning seats once held by Republicans.

Wisconsin voters, you deserve to be heard.

Walker was ordered by a Judge. He wanted to keep the seats open to prevent Republican losses. People have the right to representation as written in the State constitution.

He's put it off so far. The judge ordered him to set the schedule next week. My bet is he will continue to delay as long as the judge lets him get away with it.
