Recall momentum continues: Dems collect huge number of signatures to recall Wisconsin GOP State Senator
http://www.washingtonpost.com/bl…-----------
"When Democrats file petitions to trigger an election to recall Wisconsin GOP state senator Randy Hopper, as they’ve announced they will do today, they will be submitting nearly 24,000 signatures — over 150 percent of the total required, a Wisconsin Democratic Party official tells me.
That is a very big number, and importantly, this marks the second time Dems have produced a massive number of signatures in their recall drives. As I reported earlier this week, Dems collected a whopping 22,561 signatures to recall state senator Dan Kapanke — 145 percent of the 15,588 required under the law — and in so doing, they tied the record for the fastest collection of recall signatures in Wisconsin history."
- Collected in record timeJosev
- winscosin population in july 2009 was ~5.6 million. is 24,000 impressive democratically speaking.********
- of course just looking at 24k its impressive without context. wouldnt be suprised if 80% was teamsters.********
- Have you ever collected signatures before? They collected 150% of the required number in record time.Josev
- They werent required to collect signatures from every person in the state.Josev
- Impressive but what does it represent.?********
- That they had .004 percent of the pop mobilized and ready to sign a petition for news ratings. who were this .004 percent?********
- Im just analyzing and applying a little critical thought to the data. In a unbiased manner. Not makign any decisions yet********
- In other words it has just as much validity as any election or recall campaign...********
- You just don't like it because it's for a liberal cause:)********
- validity? not sure. dont know the law but looking at numbers it doesnt seem right********
