The officials we were targeting filed a challenge on every signature and forced the clerks to verify them one by one. The challenge has to list each signature by name, petition number and line number (in MI anyway) as well as the reason for the challenge. In our case, the official's challenge alleged that every one of the signatures "did not match the voter registration card on file". Out of several thousand, only a couple were invalidated.f2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/15461747765755572743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-68799564451439121012011-04-12T08:47:34.878-04:002011-04-12T08:47:34.878-04:00Not challenging the signatures would be a surprise...Not challenging the signatures would be a surprise. The conservatives need to be likewise ready for recall petitions for the Republican Senators. When the Democrats file those petitions, not only should the signatures be checked for being in the district, but whether or not they are public employees. That would make an interesting web page: "Here are the names of public employees who want to recall this Republican Senator. Check their salary. Do you blame them?"Milwaukeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830345164697669429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-77952912496673316232011-04-12T08:32:43.944-04:002011-04-12T08:32:43.944-04:00I don't know what the standards for signatures...I don't know what the standards for signatures are in Wisconsin but my experience in PA tells me this is ruthless.<br />First, if one signature on a page of signatures is bad for whatever reason, the whole page is thrown out. Signatures can be bad for a number of reasons .. some obvious, some not so obvious. Having a signature from outside the district of the "person of interest" will get the whole page tossed, for instance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
