I thought only voters could sign the recall. Maybe they do things differently there. But perverts cannot vote because they are convicted felons and have lost that right and since lots of polling places are in schools, which they are not allowed within 1000 feet of, they could not vote anyway.
Since a convicted sex offender is a felon, they can't vote, and they can't count as a legit signature on the petition. They gathered a million signatures for the Walker recall, and they only needed half that. The secretary of state's job is to go through the signatures to the point where they know they have at least half a million legitimate, valid signatures, and that's what they did. In the process they found these couple of hundred that aren't valid because they're felons and not eligible to vote.
What's the problem? The reason every campaign like this gathers more signatures than they need is because some will be bad--duplicates, made up names, nonvoters, etc. It's just unusual for a petition drive to gather TWICE the number of signatures that they need...people were jumping up and down to sign the petition.
Yeah, it's almost a waste of thought to reply to the thread, being so DUMB and all.
But then, why would any sex offender want to recall Walker? Maybe a union worker, or a school teacher or hospital worker? Maybe that's all the argument necessary to support Walker.
If somebody doesn't say something, you radical RW whackadoodles get out of control. Call it preventative...
Why does anyone sign a petition? They found a couple of hundred in a million signatures. I feel dumber for answering your question.
Here's what some of you don't get. If you don't like Obama, and you do like people like Scott Walker--fine. Where you get into trouble and you hurt your case is when you try to make ridiculous, crazy arguments vs. dealing with the issues and the facts. I'm an old school, business oriented conservative, and I tend to completely tune out most new conservatives these days because the arguments they make are NUTS. You lose people. It's also how you lose elections. I think you radicals need to be purged from the party so we can get back down to business, and I anticipate there's a good chance of that this next round. If the tea party radicals get kicked out in 2012, you did it to yourselves.

The problem is this: WHY are the PERVERTS not back in JAIL for the act of FRAUD they committed? When they signed that petition, the falsely claimed they were legitimate registered voters and eligible to sign those petitions. If I were the DA there, I would bring fraud charges against them and have them rounded up and put back in jail where they never should have been allowed out of to start with. You cannot cure perverts. All you can do is lock them up for good to keep them away from children.

They can vote if not on probation, incarcerated or on parole.
Wrong. There are misdemeanor sex offenses such as prostitution or indecent exposure (I don't know what the precise statutes are in Wisconsin but they are easily accessible if you wish to inquire.)
Quote:
they can't vote
Wrong. Even if the offender is a felon, he or she may vote in Wisconsin after completion of their sentence including any probation or parole.
