How many of the signatures are actually from Wisconsin residents?
Or is it the same tough non-existent restrictions they have in the general election that gets them more votes than voters every time?
The Republican defenders had better be extremely diligent and courageous in challenging any signatures that are not from residents. The signatures must also be validly dated, during the time period approved for the petition.
In LaCrosse, it’s likely that the signatures are good.
I would focus on the Milwaukee-area recalls for challenges. Because the districts are tight together, it is very likely that many of the signatures come from people who bounce between districts during their daily travels and don’t realize it when signing at roadside and storefront signature drives.
I don’t know WI election law, but the signatures should be only those of registered voters in the district he represents. It’d be all too easy to stand on a street corner in Madison to collect the required # of signatures, so I would imagine it’s restricted to his district.
