On January 5, a state court in Wisconsin ruled that state election officials must determine how many duplicate signatures exist on the petition to recall the Governor. In Wisconsin, anyone who is eligible to register to vote is permitted to sign petitions. Furthermore, election officials assume any petition that has enough raw signatures to match the required number is valid, and leave it up to opponents of the petition drive to challenge if they feel the petition lacks sufficient valid signatures. See this story.
The number of signatures is so huge (over 400,000), the Governor and his supporters sued, arguing that they almost certainly will want to challenge the petition when it is finally submitted, and that they don’t have the resources, in the short amount of time permitted, to find all the duplicates. There is apparently some evidence that some voters have signed the petition more than once.
One more obvious question —
Is a CRIME (i.e. a FELONY) in liberal WI to sign a recall petition more than once ???
Is the U.S.A. quite ready and willing to have a Civil WAR II ??? Duh.
The EVIL top left/right gerrymander gang leaders do NOT like each other.
• In many rural communities people are afraid of signing recall petitions. They are afraid of vindictive GOP like scott walker. Kenosha Wisc. sheriff attacked people gathering signatures to help the GOP. These were seniors and one disabled person. What a tuff guy did he pull his weapon?. He has ordered his deputies to do the same. The County said the people had the right to be public property. Kenosha has a vindictive GOP sheriff like in Phoenix Arizona. In most rural areas were the justice system is out of control. Honest people have to worry about vindictive deputies. It is a well know fact 99% of your police are GOP. The GOP has handed open checkbooks for the DOJ budget for decades. Just like in defense spending. The out of control judiciary in Wisconsin has the people living in fear. Just like David Koch wants. Just like in his homeland mother Russia. People are afraid to sign recall papers in the largest police state per capita in the world. Just like Koch`s mother Russia. Wisconsin courts are known for political acts and political prosecutions. Just look at the supreme court of Wississippi. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is long gone. David Koch bought it.
If Wisconsin US attorney was a honest honorable person not a Protection Rackeet for his fellow republicans. Walker would be in a federal penn. A federal judge in Milwaukee in 1/2011 ordered Milwaukee county to rehired all the people Walker fired. The judge stated Walker mislead the county board on everything. The judge basicily stated Walker commit a few dozens of crimes and without any doubt abused his power. The judge stated Walker created a FALSE emergency. The judge detailed Walkers crimes. This has cost the state how many millions? Why is US attorney John Vaudruel protecting Walker and allowing him to continue his reign of terror on the seniors, poor, and or future our children. Is Vaudruels agenda protecting his GOP pals more important than our children? John stop your protection rackeet.
MADISON, Wisconsin (WKOW) – The Wisconsin Budget Project found state lawmakers left more than $1 billion in federal funds they could have taken, after looking at figures from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
According to an October LFB memo, state budget cuts or incomplete funding of state programs meant Wisconsin did not capture an additional $506 million of federal funds that were available over the current biennium. This is in addition to $803 million in two large federal grants, including a grant for high-speed rail, that Wisconsin turned down.
According to the most recent national data available, the Wisconsin Budget Project found the state ranked 32nd among states in federal spending per capita.
According to the LFB memo, the Legislature bypassed at least four different opportunities to bring additional federal money into the state: nearly half a billion dollars in Medical assistance; $13.2 million to provide job training for people with disabilities; $8.3 million for enforcing child support orders; and $4.2 for administering FoodShare and medical assistance programs.
The Wisconsin Budget Project is an initiative of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families. Its web site says it focuses on state budget and tax issues related to low and moderate income families.
