Governor Walker is going about dealing with those lamers in the wrong way. As I understand it, if a elected official fails to show up and do the job that they were elected to do, their seat can be declared vacant due to abandonment. Then the Governor can appoint another person to fill that seat/position.
Apparently, I heard wrong. According to the Wisconsin Constitution the Governer can fill vacancies but I found nothing that stated that he could declare a seat to be vacant. I should've checked this out before I posted. My apologies folks.
Article 4, section 14.
