About: 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election

An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election was a special election to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. It resulted in voters re-electing incumbent Republican governor Scott Walker over the Democratic candidate Tom Barrett by a larger margin than he had in 2010, in which Walker had also faced Barrett. Recall organizers opposed Walker's agenda, particularly his limiting of collective bargaining rights for state employees and they collected over 900,000 signatures to initiate the recall election process. There was also a recall for Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch. She won her race, defeating Democrat Mahlon Mitchell, making her the first lieutenant governor to run in and survive a recall.

  • The 2012 Wisconsin gubernatorial recall election was a special election to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of Wisconsin. It resulted in voters re-electing incumbent Republican governor Scott Walker over the Democratic candidate Tom Barrett by a larger margin than he had in 2010, in which Walker had also faced Barrett. Recall organizers opposed Walker's agenda, particularly his limiting of collective bargaining rights for state employees and they collected over 900,000 signatures to initiate the recall election process. There was also a recall for Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch. She won her race, defeating Democrat Mahlon Mitchell, making her the first lieutenant governor to run in and survive a recall. The Democratic primaries took place on May 8. The recall elections were held June 5 with Walker defeating Barrett. Walker was thus the first U.S. governor to continue in office after facing a recall election. Four state senate recall elections took place the same day as the gubernatorial recall elections, resulting in two wins by Republican incumbents, one open seat win by a Republican, and one win by a Democratic challenger, giving Democrats control of the state Senate. The recall election was just the third gubernatorial recall election in U.S. history and the first one in which the incumbent was not defeated. The other recall elections were the 1921 North Dakota gubernatorial recall election (which successfully recalled Lynn Frazier), the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election (which successfully recalled Gray Davis), and the 2021 California gubernatorial recall election (which failed to recall Gavin Newsom). Voter turnout in the election was 57.8 percent, the highest for a gubernatorial election not on a presidential ballot in Wisconsin history. The election was widely covered on national television.

  • L'élection du gouverneur du Wisconsin de 2012, ainsi que de son adjoint dit lieutenant-gouverneur, a eu lieu le 5 juin 2012. Cette élection fait suite à une procédure de recall qui permet, si un nombre de 900 000 signatures est atteint, de révoquer le gouverneur en place et de rejouer l'élection, élection qui s'était déroulée en 2010 et qui avait vu s'affronter le républicain Scott Walker et le maire démocrate de Milwaukee Tom Barrett. Cette procédure, exceptionnelle puisqu'elle est la troisième de ce type dans l'histoire des États-Unis, avait été lancée à l'initiative des démocrates, qui s'opposaient à la politique de réduction des dépenses publiques du gouverneur républicain nouvellement élu Scott Walker. Cette élection est considérée la plus coûteuse de l'histoire de l'État ; selon le quotidien américain USA Today, plus de 62 millions de dollars ont été dépensés par les candidats et groupes partisans affiliés. Toujours selon le même quotidien, les 30 millions de dollars levés par Scott Walker viennent de donateurs hors du Wisconsin, alors qu'à contrario, les 4 millions de son adversaire démocrate Barett viennent en majorité d'habitants du Wisconsin. Cette élection, considérée comme un test sur la politique du gouverneur sortant, a confirmé à son poste de gouverneur le républicain Scott Walker, qui remporte l'élection avec 53,1 %, et Rebecca Kleefisch au poste de lieutenant-gouverneur. C'est la première fois qu'un gouverneur ayant été l'objet d'une procédure de recall est réélu, les autres élections de rappel ayant vu la défaite de Lynn Frazier dans le Dakota du Nord en 1921 et de Gray Davis en Californie en 2003.
