Independent state reviews of the petitions to recall Republican Senators Randy Hopper and Luther Olsen found enough valid signatures to force an election, a Wisconsin Government Accountability Board spokesperson said Monday.

GAB staff verified 23,127 signatures to recall Hopper, R-Fond du Lac, and 22,381 signatures to recall Olsen, R-Ripon, spokesperson Reid Magney said.

Petitioners needed 15,269 signatures to recall Hopper and 14,733 signatures to recall Olsen.

(snip)
If approved, the election would take place on July 12.

11. But watch those votes on election day! Make sure that the

votes and the bags in which the votes are kept will never be left in the hands of those GOP alone.

We know what happened to Kloppenburg's Waukesha County recount votes, don't we? No
repeat performance, please! You can be sure those GOP vote-counters will continue to
do their dishonest best.
