>> Republicans in Illinois haven’t started a recall petition yet? <<

Democrats enacted some faux "recall" law a few years ago (so they could get the mainstream media to announce they "reformed" things and gave the voters what we asked for). The "recall" statute they put on the books is absolute joke and can't be used to actually "recall" anyone. It has some guidelines like you must get permission from both party's leaders in the legislature before a recall drive can be initiated, then you must get 2/3rds of all state legislators to sign a petition allowing a recall, then you must get 10,000 signatures from registered Illinois voters to get the recall proposal on the ballot...

The next election is in 13 months anyway, there’s no point having a stupid recall this late in the term, even if we had a real recall law, which we don’t.

Looks like the establishment got themselves well protected. I think it’s easier to amend the constitution.
