Judge: GAB must verify signatures on recall petitions against Gov. Walker

http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/136772943.html

WAUKESHA- A Waukesha County judge ruled Thursday that the Government Accountability Board has to verify signatures on recall petitions against the governor.

Judge Mac Davis ordered state election officials to "take affirmative steps" to remove fake or duplicate names from recall petitions.

The GAB now has to look for bogus names, duplicate names and check if a signature is from a valid voter on recall petitions.

GAB Director Kevin Kennedy says they have some reorganzing to do.

If a bunch of Republicans were petitioning against me, I'd sure want the right to verify the signatures.

The Repubs said they wanted the state to do the work (I guess there are some things they think the state does better than them ...)
