GAB Agrees To Reject Outside Petition Reviews

http://www.channel3000.com/politics/30398245/detail.html

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin's elections board has agreed not to accept independent reviews of recall petitions done by anyone other than Gov. Scott Walker and other targeted office holders and those who circulated the petitions.

The Government Accountability Board on Tuesday agreed to reject an offer made by a pair of tea party groups offering to turn over their own review of the estimated 1 million signatures submitted on the Walker recall petitions.

Board director Kevin Kennedy said there is no process in place for accepting information from outside groups and individuals.

The four targeted state senators have until Thursday to challenge signatures. Walker's challenges are due Feb. 27 and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch has until March 5.
The GAB has until March 19 to verify all of the petitions.


Good. I am sickened by the Journal Broadcast Group asking their customers to do the job of the Walker campaign. Though they will still likely turn their database over to the campaign.

They have a process and it requires challenges go through the campaigns.
