Another WI Rethuglican Ready to be Recalled! Alberta Darling

[Ed Suspicious]

This makes five! Three to go. Another one bites the dust HEY HEY!


*snip The state Dems told Sargeant that they collected approximately 30,000 signatures to trigger a new election against Darling, providing a very large buffer above the 20,343 minimum signatures required -- and presumably a whole lot of votes on tap in a recall election, too.

Darling holds special significance in the battle over Walker's recently passed (and currently litigated) legislation -- she is the Senate co-chair of the legislature's Joint Finance Committee, which shepherded the bill through its first stages. As such, her increased public profile would make her a particular lightning rod in the recall campaigns.

4. Wis. Dems: We Will Challenge GOP 'Racket' Of Recall Signatures

Wisconsin Democrats, who have been waging a campaign to recall Republican state senators and take a majority back in the chamber, are now firing back at the Republican counter-campaigns to recall the Dems. On a conference call with reporters on Thursday morning, state Dem chair Mike Tate and attorney Jeremy Levinson predicted that they would able to successfully challenge the validity of much of the signature-gathering effort by Republicans -- which Tate repeatedly called a "racket."

"At the heart of the Republican effort from the start was a mercenary spirit that naturally used deception and fraud to gain signatures," charged Tate. "In the coming days, you will see affidavits from citizens in these targeted districts who were deceived into signing petitions by the Republican roadies who often refused to identify themselves by their real names."

In particular, Tate said that the Republicans brought in paid signature gatherers from out of state, who were paid on a per-signature basis, and that some of these gatherers had criminal records.

The issue previously came to a head in late March and early April, when one of the state GOP's canvassers, a Colorado man with a criminal record, was fired after he was accused of stealing a backpack containing a couple's keys and cell phones from Lambeau Field, the home football stadium of the Green Bay Packers.
