AAA MILWAUKEE -- Eight Republican state senators and five of their Democratic colleagues are being targeted by recall attempts.
The recall paperwork has been filed in recent days, as a Senate impasse persists over Gov. Scott Walker's controversial budget repair bill.
The Government Accountability Board said Wednesday the Democratic senators targeted are Minority Leader Mark Miller, Spencer Coggs, Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin and Robert Wirch.
It said the Republicans are Sens. Robert Cowles, Alberta Darling, Glenn Grothman, Sheila Harsdorf, Randy Hopper, Dan Kapanke, Mary Lazich and Luther Olsen.
Once the recall paperwork is filed, organizers have 60 days to gather signatures. The number of signatures depends on how many voters in that district voted for governor, a number that ranges here from 11,000 to 21,000.
