For those who dont want to read through the tedious press release on the topic there is basically no way to ensure that signatures (that arent obviously false like people signing adolph Hitler) are accurate and must be individually challenged which would be a monumental and time consuming task.

From GAB website:

These competing interests ensure that ineligible signers, duplicate signatures and fake names get weeded out. Focusing on any one aspect of the process in isolation misses the forest for a few trees.

Basically they say "here are the signatures, challenge whatever you like" however what is unsaid is how exactly do you choose what signatures to challenge and due to the sheer number of signatures and monumental amount of work needed to document their legitimacy it is an impossible task to properly vet them out.

Then you'd better tell the Republican judge that just ruled in the legal case the Friends of Scott Walker brought against GAB regarding petitions he's wrong.

And you can tell the multiple GAB people actually checking the signatures daily, a complex and ongoing process that will take 60 days, including the additional required accuracy checks from the judge in the above lawsuit, that they are wasting their time. Because they, and the Walker camp, who just won that lawsuit regarding what accuracy checks they wanted added, thinks it's pretty well nailed down regarding the accuracy thing.

On the other hand, all the Senate recall petitions have been processed by GAB, entered into the computer data base for checking validity and cross-referencing, and have been posted (all petitions become public). Anyone may view photocopies the original signed petitions as PDF's, here.

If you see Adolf Hitler has signed, please notify the Walker Campaign immediately.

If you take the time to read the opnion piece linked you would understand why what I said is accurate.

As Kevin Kennedy, the director of the GAB, who has overseen nine recall elections in the last year alone, fielded questions about Bugs Bunny during his testimony. When one of Walker’s lawyers asked Kennedy if the GAB had counted “Bugs Bunny” as a valid signature during the Holperin recall and Kennedy replied, “yes,” he tried to explain why it was counted.
The GAB did not strike Bugs Bunny’s signature because the signature had not been challenged, and the agency can’t strike a signature without a challenge.


Going through and individually challenging hundreds of thousands of signatures would be an incredibly time consuming and expensive task.

Especially considering Walker will win. Why call timeout when you're dominating.

Which is why Walker sued and won, to have the GAB do it for him, and why there is this nice video feed of them doing exactly that right now - checking hundreds of thousands of signatures, entering them into a data base, cross checking with address and voter registration rolls - and why the petitions are posted on the internet, too, after they have been checked.

Keep up, will you? You have to know what's going on, before you can b.itch about it. You're complaining they can't do something they are actually doing right now . Which is pretty funny.

Anyone with a telephone book can get names and addresses.
