Did Recall Elections Force Republicans to Reverse Closing DMV's?

I guess some efforts to suppress voter turnout are more obvious than others:

jsonline: The Division of Motor Vehicles reversed course Thursday and announced it will maintain all of its licensing centers and will open four new locations across the state.

Under an original proposal, the department said it may close 16 locations and open nine new locations. DMV Operations Manager Patrick Fernan said pressure from the Legislature and citizens to keep the DMV accessible led to the decision not to close any branches. "It became clear that there was a strong desire to maintain service in all current locations," Fernan said.

The new DMV locations will be in Viroqua (Vernon County), Alma (Buffalo County), south Eau Claire/Fall Creek (Eau Claire County) and Keshena (Menominee County).
