Well, the Democrats are challenging the dead people on the GOP petitions completed by the outsiders from Colorado hired by the GOP to fill them out, and the Republicans can challenge any signatures on the Dem petitions.

Any wrong signatures should be excluded and if there are signatures of dead people on the recall petitions they should be challenged.

However you have to agree the actions by this professor who specifically tells his students to illegally sign a petition when they don't live in the district and to make sure they use their "campus address" is just wrong. As a person with power over his students his actions are ridiculous. I wonder how many other professors or teachers did the same...

If a student's campus address is their legal address, it's legal to sign. If it isn't, yes, it should be thrown out.

As an aside, I'm very concerned about the current Republican nationwide push to change current voting laws in order to disinfranchise students from voting on campus before 2012.

No, I agree it's questionable to have that in a classroom (due to the professors power) just as it is to have recall petitions going around at a workplace via a supervisor.

Did you listen or read the transcript? See below and tell me what is questionable?

STUDENT: I live in Menasha and from what I understand Senator Ellis is who, is representing [inaudible].

PROFESSOR: Um, I think you can sign it and if it doesn't, if you are in that district then your signature just won't count.

Um, if you sign this you should sign this you should sign it uh, with uh, um your campus address. You know like if you, instead of your parents' address sign it with the address here on campus.
Um, I’m not asking you to do it you're not required to do this, it's a free country, you can sign it or not sign it.

Um, I'd prefer to have people do it outside cause that way, you know it's not like I'm watching who's signing and who's not signing.

Um...and so if you want to you can go outside and sign it, if you don’t want to then well just, just stay in class.

Did you miss the part where I already said the professor shouldn't have done that in the classroom?

Default Dems officially file challenges against all GOP recall

Dems officially filed challenges today against all three GOP recall petitions. Below are their charges. We'll see what happens.

GOP Election Fraud Exposed
Formal Challenge Reveals GOP Recall Petitions
Plagued by Pattern of Misconduct and Abuse

Tarnished Out-of-State Firm Hired by GOP Uses
Systemic Election Fraud to Fill Papers with Invalid Signatures

Hundreds of Claims from Wisconsin Citizens Prove
GOP Recall Efforts Illegitimate, Must Be Rejected

MADISON – A formal challenge to be filed later today against Republican recall petitions asks the Government Accountability Board to disqualify thousands of invalid signatures, and reject recall elections against three Democratic state senators, because widespread and systemic election fraud has tainted the entire GOP operation.

"The overwhelming evidence clearly shows a pervasive pattern of election fraud committed by the shady out-of-state organization hired by Republicans to collect recall petitions," said Senate Democratic Leader Mark Miller. "Thousands of Wisconsin citizens fell victim to lies and misinformation spread by the circulators, and the papers submitted by this operation contain a river of omissions and wrong information."
