Gov. Scott Walker signs bill to tighten Wisconsin recount rules. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel., 11/30/2017)
The Assembly passed the GOP bill in June on a voice vote and the Senate passed it on a party line vote of 20-13. Under the bill, candidates could request recounts only if they lost by 1 percentage point or less in an election with at least 4,000 votes total. For elections that don't receive that many votes, the candidate would need to lose by no more than 40 votes for a recall.

GOP bills backed by a Koch brothers group, which loosen education requirements for barbers, cosmetologists, manicurists and others, were signed into law by Republican Gov. Scott Walker on Monday. Senate Bills 108 and 109, were modeled after proposals developed by a corporate bill mill called the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC hawks pro-business economic and social policy proposals to state legislators around the country.
