Crooked Recall petitions by Democrats in Wisconsin

Galloway Recall Petitions Show Duplicates, Invalid Signatures, Circulator Mistakes

By Collin Roth

Yesterday, Media Trackers reported that an initial naked eye look at a sampling of recall petitions turned in for Senator Pam Galloway showed numerous duplicates, invalid signatures, and circulator mistakes. Below is a brief accounting of the errors with screenshots of just a few pages that could throw out 24 of 37 signatures:

  • Two petition sheets were turned in that were identical (pages 1484 and 1485). One was for the Walker recall and one for the Galloway recall. While perhaps a mistake, instances like this pad the numbers for initial reports of recall signatures.
  • Pages 4701-B and 4703 are also identical.
  • Pages 4705 is a copy of 1584.
  • On pages 4706-A, 4707, and 4709 the circulator failed to sign and a total of six signatures should be deemed invalid.
  • Pages 4711 and 4714 show the circulator failing to print name and address.
  • Page 4706-B shows an individual signing after the circulator has signed and dated the page.
  • Page 4710 shows both a signer and circulator failing to date the petition page.
    • While some may deem these as inconsequential mistakes and errors, it is a reflection of a sloppy process accompanied by little oversight that failed to follow the proper procedures and guidelines outlined by the GAB.

    There is no doubt that these pages are hardly snowflakes on the tip of the iceberg as the recall verification process gets underway.
