The Congressional House Oversight Committee has observed that Scott Walker's testimony doesn't match his video record.
He has until 4 days before the election to contact Congress, justify or change his official testimony or risk Congressional perjury charges.
The Walker-Barrett debate will be televised tonight on C-Span. Walker will certainly be asked about this.

Committee Democrats Press Governor Walker for Explanation of Videotape that Conflicts with His Testimony
Washington, DC (May 25, 2012)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Committee Members Gerald Connolly and Chris Murphy sent a letter to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker seeking answers to three simple questions about his 2011 testimony before the Committee in light of a new videotape that appears to contradict his statements.
Despite testifying under oath that he never “had a conversation with respect to [his] actions in Wisconsin and using them to punish members of the opposition party and their donor base,” a newly uncovered video taken three months earlier shows Walker explaining to one of his biggest financial donors that he plans to use a “divide and conquer” strategy against public sector workers in order to turn Wisconsin into a “completely red state.”
Today’s letter follows a previous letter the Members sent to Chairman Issa requesting that he ask Walker to explain his testimony before the Committee.
