According to the link by law the accountability board has 31 days to now go through a million signatures to verify them. With 17 members on the board of elections that is a mountain to climb. 35K signatures a day to verify approx or around 84 sigs an hour per person if they work 24/7. I'm sure none will slip through the cracks.
WI finally gets a governor that knows how to create an environment that encourages economic growth(as opposed to government growth) and you guys want him out. I'm glad he wants to cut state workers as they're overpaid and get luxurious benefits and pensions on OUR tax money. Democrats = too many chiefs not enough indians.
And the messed up part is the recall will cost us $9M and the state senate recalls another $9M. The lefties truly do not have an ounce of consideration for the current economic climate/limited taxpayer funds. Then they will blame Walker when he has to cut even more programs and jobs or raise taxes.
I hear Walker is flying all over the country, outside Wisconsin, to raise millions to fight a political campaign to save his governorship. I also hear there may be a backlash against all this out-of-state fundraising he is doing.
Will there be an equal and opposite backlash against all the out-of-state union funds behind the recall effort?
I'd bet that not many people who signed those petitions voted for Walker in the first place, hell many of them aren't even able to vote in WI.
Duh- of course the signers of the petitions didn't vote for Walker! Why would someone who voted for him want to kick him out of office?
The State Dept. will settle just how many of the signatures are valid or not. But any way you look at it, 1,000,000 voters who oppose him are more than enough to kick him out of office. If only half of the sigs are valid, 500,000 is still way more than enough to call a recall election, and you know full well that more than half are valid. The most likely percentage is around 90%, based on the earlier recall.
The petitions do not represent all those who will vote Walker out- the petitions show only the ones who were brave enough to stand up to the bullies and sign the petitions. There may be as many as 3 times the 1 million number.
But don't let me stop you... go ahead and keep whistling. The 'Death March' would be appropriate.
I hope the court make the recall effort prove each and every name and place of residence.
That's the Wisconsin State Dept.'s job.
The courts will only hear any signatures that are disputed by both parties and the State Dept. in any of several 2 or 3 way combos.
It has already been announced that if the address and other info is correct, a Mickey Mouse sig will be accepted. If the guy who signed 80 times is valid, only one of his signatures will be counted. The other 79 will be thrown out.

4.2 million of those are over the age of 18, and 1,128,159 voters elected him into office, and now you are trying to tell me that there are 1 million signatures for the recall effort?
it seems to me there is alot of fudging going on here. I wonder how many of those names are actually from out of state or illegals.

considering the numbers involved, i would challenge each and every one of the signatures.
In a recall election, who will he be running against? Someone "hand picked" by the Union?
yep, probably a public service union.
