Exactly!!!
Recount, yes, but a recall is a pipe dream. Isn’t the constitutional rule that one may not start gathering signatures for a recall until one year has passed since the person’s term began? Lehman’s term presumably will begin when he is declared the winner in a final and unappealable judgment, or maybe when his credentials are accepted by the Senate (I’m not sure). If it’s the former, one wouldn’t be able to commence gathering signatures for his recall until June 2013 at the earliest; given that it takes a few months for the recall process to play itself out (what with signature certification, the primary and all), the recall election and swearing in wouldn’t take place until January of 2014 at the earliest; would the GOP really go through with that just to have a 19-14 majority instead of an 18-15 majority for a single year? And if the start date is deemed to be when Lehman has his credentials accepted by the Senate, that means that they might not be able to start gathering signatures until January 2014, and the new senator wouldn’t take office at all (since the recall election wouldn’t be held until the senate had adjourned for the year prior to the November 2014 general election, when the seat would be up). So I seriously doubt that the GOP will risk the negative publicity of a recall election for such a limited benefit.
I’d stay away from recalls. Even though they gained a few senate seats in the process, the left’s recall mania backfired when Wisconsin voters finally rebelled against the sore loserism with the Walker vote.
