After Republicans running as fake Democrats got squashed like bugs in the July 10 Recall Primary, here are the results for July 19, 2011. Republican primaries occurred in District 12 and District 22 where the Democratic incumbents, Senators Wirch and Holperin, will be challenged on August 16. In District 30, incumbent (and proud member of the Fabulous 14) Senator Dave Hansen, D-Green Bay, squashed Republican David Vanderleest in a landslide.
