Volunteers, all unpaid, collected more than 20 thousand signatures in less than 30 days, pretty amazing rate of collection. The canvassing board will have 31 days to process the signatures, with Kapanke having the right to challenge any of them.
Kapanke serves in the heaviest blue district held by a GOP state Senator, 61% of the district voted for Obama and he is seen as the most likely candidate to be recalled.

All 8 GOP Senators will probably be recalled at this rate, while none of the Democratic Senators face any real recall threat.
Democracy in action!
