A recall election has officially been ordered in Wisconsin for Governor Scott Walker. Walker drew fire last year for restricting collective bargaining rights for public workers. Volunteers collected almost double the number of signatures needed to force a recall election. The Lieutenant Governor and four state senators are also facing recall elections. Governor Walker said that he was looking forward to defending his actions. The election is scheduled for June 5.
