Well, no
Stop saying that when it can't be proven. It's an absurd and completely unproven contention. The only "fraud" that can be claimed is actual signatures disallowed by GAB.
If signatures are fraudulent, Walker simply has to submit which ones are fraud to have them removed. It's easy, it's quick. He's not. Why? The signatures are even available on the internet for everyone to see. He doesn't even have to do his own work. Why isn't he complaining? They are not fraudulent and he knows it.
And for him to claim they are, and have that disproven publicly, takes away the false complaint that "they are fraudulent signatures" that you are making right now. Walker wants people to mistakenly think those million signatures are false. He can't prove it, but to try and prove it would prove nothing but he's wrong. Better he continues to whine about imaginary problems, than be proven his whining is false.
Walker isn't contesting the signatures, because they are not fraud, and he knows it. He's up against the John Doe investigation, and the recall, at the same time. He's desperately trying to find options (some think he may resign, put his Lt. in charge, then tie up the recall election in court, trying to keep Republican control of Governorship and Senate), and force the recall to go forward quickly.
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.
