“The stakes are quite high,” says Barry Burden, a University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor. “If Walker wins it will be vindication” and if he loses, “it would be a rebuke to the Republican agenda.”
If Walker is ousted, he would be just the third governor to be removed from office in U.S. history.
