This was the reason I never got involved on the Walker side and focused on Verify the Recall. There was no chance that the Walker org was going to get extra time and that the efforts would be for naught.
I put it on the State board but VTR so far has this:
- Based on blank lines from sig pages there are only 850K signatures as opposed to PR from the left stating 1 million.
- At least 50K illegitimate sigs that are proveable
- 230K sigs that have been flagged for review by the GAB (we know these will be accepted)
This hard work could possibly leave only around 540K legit sigs if we had a non-political GAB.
Hopefully PAC’s will be pounding all summer that we’re spending 15 million on a recall where it is quite possible that due to fraud or improper accountability on sig sheets that the left didn’t even meet the threshold for the recall election.
I did both. But, the criteria for the 2 efforts was different. VTR checks to see if the sigs match and has us enter all pertinent info into the DB so that it can be checked for bad addesses and duplicates.
The Victory centers just had us checking dates to see if the signatures were within the allowable time period and the circulator signed AFTER all the people.
That’s interesting because my friend who has been counting estimated that a third of the signatures she looked at were illegitimate which jibes with these overall numbers.
