6. It would be irony if this occurs

Next morning "Walker Defeats Barrett" when it turned out that overnight, Barrett did come from behind to take it by 5% thanks to the turnouts in Madison and Milwaukee.

And the DoJ indicts Walker the same day and ordered to surrender.

7. If so, he could be impeached if he is found guilty of a felony

I read the Wisconsin State Constitution some time ago, and I am pretty sure that is what the document said. Not going there right now to double check now; just posting from my best memory.

14. Found this (see below)

"Removal

The governor may be removed from office through an impeachment trial[6] or through a recall election.[7] An impeachment trial is carried out by the Wisconsin State Assembly, if a majority of its members agree to the impeachment. A governor may also choose to resign from office. Four governors have resigned for various reasons, and none have been removed from office through impeachment, although Arthur MacArthur, Sr., who, as lieutenant governor, became governor upon the resignation of William Barstow, was removed after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Barstow's opponent in the election, Coles Bashford was the election's legitimate winner.[8]"

If the recall effort still manages to change the composition of the State Assembly, a new majority could carry out an impeachment trial (I believe.)

8. Not if everyone can be bought.

10. the media outlets aren't stupid

They aren't calling the race based on what has already been tallied. They know damn well what is coming out of the major cities and that it won't be enough

12. We're yet to see if that will be a consolation prize,

or the icing on the cake.
