Whether you're excited to vote or are counting the hours until the ads for Barrett and Walker stop, here's the information you need to know if you aren't one of the thousands who have voted early.
To be blunt, Tuesday is put up or shut up time for voters across the state, as the recall war finally comes to a matter of ballots at the polls throughout the state.

A repeat performance for Governor, with Barrett a distant second; voters exceed expectations at the polls in unprecedented statewide recall primary race, with an even bigger turnout expected in June.
Good night for Walker Even though Governor Scott Walker didn't have a true Republican opponent to put him onto the ballot (an admitted 'fake candidate' Arthur Kohl-Riggs appeared as his challenger), voters took the time to reiterate their intentions from November of 2010 and gave him another victory on Tuesday.

Mahlon Mitchell, a 15-year veteran of the Madison Fire Department and current president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, will run as a Democrat in recall election.
Mahlon Mitchell, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, announced Monday that he is running for lieutenant governor in the recall election against incumbent Rebecca Kleefisch. A 15-year veteran of the Madison Fire Department, Mitchell lives in Fitchburg.
