Madison - A state Court of Appeals on Friday vacated an order requiring election officials to more aggressively check for duplicate and fictitious signatures to recall Gov. Scott Walker.
The Madison-based appeals court took that step because it found the trial court judge had improperly barred Democratic recall committees from intervening in the case brought by the Republican governor.
Walker's campaign in December sued the state Government Accountability Board, arguing it did not plan to do enough to find duplicate and fictitious names on the petitions. The recall groups tried to intervene in the case, but Waukesha County Circuit Judge J. Mac Davis did not allow them to do so.
Last month, Davis ruled the accountability board had to do more than it planned to seek out problem signatures. In response, the board developed plans to create a database of petition signers, which it said would add to the time needed to verify signatures to determine if a recall election should be held.
On Friday, the Madison-based District 4 Court of Appeals issued a ruling that said the recall committees had a right to intervene in the case. As a result, it vacated the ruling on how the accountability board had to verify the signatures.
"We have a right to be at the table," said Jeremy Levinson, the attorney for the recall groups.

Of course it’s dirty pool, did you expect otherwise?
In the near term there will be new evidence of fraud, misuse of process, and flat-out identify theft on a daily basis. Check here for updated info:

In the long term, there will be reform of the recall process, ending this kind of abuse. And the WI legislature created the GAB, and given it’s failure to do the job, there’s a lot of sentiment to un-creating it.
Meanwhile over 10,000 volunteers are screening the petitions, and running those names and addresses past a host of databases, including wanted felons, outstanding warrants, deadbeat child support, sex offenders, and more. Some of those who couldn’t wait to sign will be getting more than they bargained for...
Ask and you shall receive:
Between this court ruling and the ruling in Ga, I am worn out with court cases that go nowhere...just let me know when the shooting starts.
Onto the WI Supreme Court I suppose. Someone has to get the GAB to do its job. All the dems would do is argue for the GAB NOT to do their job.
Actually the GAB needs to be eliminated. It isn’t working and it’s no better than the prior system.
Hey! That's my line. :)
Hopefully, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will quickly reverse this corrupt decision.
“In the long term, there will be reform of the recall process, ending this kind of abuse.”...NOPE! IT won’t change according to my state senator (a suposed republican).
He specifically told me, The people will and do not wish to give up their right to vote”, meaning the masses still want a recall process. I said to him, “If there was no law broken, let the masses have their vote at the next scheduled (legal) election”. He wasn’t swayed and said, It won’t happen”.
