Michigan: State House Representative recall stymied by 2012 recall law change

A proposal to remove State Representative Karen Whitsett (D) seems to be a nonstarter. Whitsett has gained the ire of her fellow Democrats due to a series of votes and specifically not caucusing with the Democrats in the new House session. 

The problem is that under the 2012 Michigan recall rules, Whitsett would automatically be the Democrats candidate if the recall would get to the ballot.
