Walker isn't contesting the signatures, because they are not fraud, and he knows it.

Walker tried to legally force the GAB to check signatures, and the court agreed. That's why they are being entered by GAB into a cross-referenced database, and checked, at huge expense.

Walker tried to allow outside people to "check signatures", and the courts told him to stick it.

Now Walker is whining there isn't enough time for him to check signatures. What nonsense. The people submitting the signatures already crosschecked them, and in half the time Walker claims he needs.

Outside groups sending postcards to the wrong person or wrong addresses, then claiming "fraud" when the postcard is returned to them, is laughable.

you need help. Walker is not challenging signatures because there most likely ARE enough valid signatures to support the recall election. You of course missed the point AGAIN!

IF YOU CLAIM you have 1 million plus signatures and you only have around 800k then you are lying to the public and the media. There are fraudlent, duplicate, illegal signatures on the recall petitions. You know it and there is proof of a lot of this out there for you to see for yourself. Is there enough invalid, illegal signatures that the GAB would actually throw out the recall most likely NO. Democrats better hope they don't lose the recall election because if Walker wins again they are done! Fortunately voters are going to be disenfranchised in the recall election and actually have to show a photo ID to vote so Walker already has an advantage

And you miss the point, that your claims of fraud regarding up to half the signatures in excess of what are needed is simply howling in the wind, unproven allegation.

Nonsense. I know there is NOT massive fraud on those petitions. I know that those very signatures are public, have been for two months now, and if there WERE so many "fraudulent, duplicate, illegal" signature, the percentage, and the actual signatures, would be listed by Walker and minions.

Even if the percentage were only 5%, or the 18% normally expected in any recall election, Walker and minions would factually list what they have found: that 5%, 10%, or even 20% of the signatures have been found fraudulent. Even if it's not enough to halt the recall election.

It's not there. They are not listing it, because it's not there, except in the internet conspiracy theories the Walker minions are desperately hanging on to. So stop pretending it is.

Those signatures were already triple checked before submission. At best, the error rate would be 2-5%. Walker knows that.

So you and the other angry Walker supporters pretending that up to 50% are fraud is simply ridiculous and without fact. But it makes a good victim story. For Walker to prove that only less than 5% of the signatures are (not fraud, but disallowable) ruins that story. That's why he's not done it.

If the signatures were triple checked before submission how come they can't actually count how many signatures were actually submitted? Were a million signatures submitted? or was it slightly less (20%) than 1 million?

That's because Wiphan is full of nonsense. It's ridiculous, and hilarious. The number of straw men alone sets a new record.

Face it: the signatures are publicly available on the internet. If any of the nonsense about allegations of massive "fraud" the Walker minions were saying was true, it would be easily provable by them.

Yet ... they keep saying it, without proving it.

And when you ask them to prove it, they change the subject.

We're waiting, and I'm sure we'll keep waiting until after Walker is recalled. And after the recall election, they will still be complaining of "massive fraud", because it makes them feel better than realizing the person they voted for is a failure who is undergoing a historic recall.

So how about if there are 1 million plus signatures submitted I will not post in politics for 30 days. If there are less than 1 million signatures you can't post in politics for 30 days. Deal? The number of signatures to be determined by the GAB

:D Your allegation was that they can't even count the actual number of signatures submitted.

You said, "If the signatures were triple checked before submission how come they can't actually count how many signatures were actually submitted?"

I said, "That's not true".

Now, above, you are changing your mind, you say there is an actual number? And you know what that number is?

Yes, there is an actual number. It has been published. Thanks for admitting that :D :tro: And thanks for admitting that your statement, " ... they can't actually count how many signatures were actually submitted" was completely false, and you apparently knew it.

Really, Wiphan .... stick to the truth in defending your Governor.

I've read the back and forth and it's you that seems to be pulling **** from left field.

wiphan is saying that there are 800k signatures, not 1 million. 200k is a massive difference and if correct, its manipulative for the media to say there are 1 million signatures.

That's what he's been saying. I have no idea what you have been going on and on about.

No, Wiphan is making allegations of massive fraud in the signature collection process, an allegation that he has so far has completely failed to prove.

You're off on one of the straw man tangents he's using to distract from that.

Tell us, Wiphan: out of all the signatures collected for Walker, what is the actual number of signatures collected, and what is the actual number of signatures that have been disallowed as invalid? Please list both "Walker" numbers, and GAB numbers.

Because your whole argument is that there is a huge difference between those two numbers. So tell us what those numbers are. Or stop making unproven allegations of "massive fraud".

(you call any false signature "fraud", which is baloney. Signatures can be disallowed for not having an address, etc. which means there is a greater chance, over just "fraud", to disallow signatures)

Antitrust32 02-28-2012 04:14 PM

from what I gather.. it seems like wiphan readily admits there are enough signatures to force a recall.

What he does not believe... is that there are 1 million valid signatures.

I think its simple enough to understand what he's been saying and that there is no straw, tin, or lions involved.

That's not the point, and nobody has disputed that. Wiphan is making wild allegations that - over and above the valid signatures collected for recall - that leaves, and there actually are, up to a half-million of possible fraudulent signatures.

So Wiphan - any proof of that? At all?

Thanks for helping to clarify this for Riot.

I think the recall will be good. If Walker wins Again then WI will move forward and we can finally be done with all of this bs. If Walker loses then the democrats will have to take responsibility for any actions they take.

But that's not what you said. You said there is massive fraud among those signatures. Nobody is saying there are not enough valid signatures remaining to force a recall.

So tell us: out of all the signatures collected for Walker, what is the actual number of signatures collected, and what is the actual number of signatures that have been disallowed as invalid?

Please list both "Walker" numbers (how many they have counted as "fraudulent"), and GAB numbers of disallowed signatures.

Dear god, that's not what I wrote, is it? Try re-reading that.

Let's try again, without your two pages of straw men and subject changes:

You said: "It isn't 1 million signatures and a lot of there is some fraud."

So put up or shut up: what are those numbers? How many signatures were collected? What percentage have been found to be fraud?

For two pages, I've been asking you to support your allegation, and you've made many excuses for not having to do so, and changed the subject many times.

Just give us the numbers that support your allegation, please. Or stop making it.

Again you missed my point. I do not know how many actual signatures were really submitted. I am willing to wager it is less than 1 million and closer to 800k. That is what I said.

As far as fraud- there are many duplicate signatures (check the forms yourself), illegible, out of state, fraudlent (one family member signing for the entire household) but there are not nearly enough to avoid the recall. For you when I said some fraud that became 500k+ signatures. I guess I understand your accounting system.

I guess you'd better stop making false accusations of "alot of fraud". Because you've been able to provide zero evidence of any fraud, other than "check the forms yourself".

That's the whole point, Anti: lots of allegations, zero actual evidence presented ... if Walkers supporters actually come up with some verifiable numbers, it takes away their ability to allege "massive fraud". So they don't present any numbers.

Nobody ever maintained all the signatures would be valid (they never are in recalls, the normal disallow rate is 18%, or nearly 1 out of 5), that's why so many sigs were submitted when only half-a-million were needed, and they were pre-vetted before submission to get the rate down to 1-5%.

But the calls that many of those signatures are fraudulent is simply partisan bullshiat, so far unsupported by any actual evidence. So until they come up with actual evidence, they probably should simply stop making the allegations as if it were fact.

Quote:

State Democratic Party Chairman Mike Tate said it's absurd that Republicans have been complaining that the Walker recall petitions were laced with fraud but didn't challenge a single signature.
That's right. Not even one signature was challenged, even with Walker getting a 20-day extension, and allegations that up to 20% of signatures were "faked". Considering that Walker could have gone to court for an additional time extension, based upon the error rate they found, why didn't Walker do that?

His excuse is, "oh,well, there are at least a half-million good sigs anyway". Yeah - but that doesn't mean you get to continue to allege "massive fraud" without any evidence regarding the others.

The GAB has three weeks to review them. We'll see if the GAB can throw out some of those signatures, and at least provide us with an independent error rate.
