After a year of protesting and fighting to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, an interesting number peered its way into the public yesterday—the primary vote tally. The total number of votes cast in the Democratic Party primary for Governor was only 650,725.
Why is this number so interesting?
Well, because we have all heard for months now how many furious Wisconsinites there are in the dairy state. And, of course, how they accounted for over one million signatures to recall Governor Walker. Over one million! That’s right, over one million Wisconsinites supposedly signed the petitions, but only 650,725 showed up to vote. That’s about 40% fewer voters than signers. How likely is that?
There has been much speculation over that past couple months that a large number of the signatures submitted were fraudulent, and this may very well be the best indicator of truth to the speculation–as well as an indication of just how many signatures were not legitimate. Since Governor Walker was denied adequate time from the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board to review and challenge the signatures, over 600,000 of them were never evaluated…

Photo ID??? Damn Koch brothers must be stopping people from voting— or driving over them with SUVs.
I have a feeling a lot of the petition signers were also pro-Walker folks who wanted a chance to shove it up the unions’ patoots in a recall election in front’a God’n evrabody to make the issue final.
You know … finis, finito, QED, period, ta-daa, howzat, and-the-horse-you-rode-in-on final.
(What? *sigh* Yeah, cheatin’s a more likely explanation, though.)
And just to put the cherry on the whipped cream, from Rodgie’s place
TTV said over half of them couldn’t be verified.
We have *MASSIVE* petition/voter fraud in this country, and *ONE* party has fought to prevent rolls from being cleaned up, prevent voter ID laws, and to ensure that vote security is at a minimum.
Because Democrats cheat.
Well, the two numbers aren’t really comparable.
Imagine someone who wanted Walker recalled, but didn’t care which Democrat won that primary; I don’t find such a person so hard to imagine (especially the slightly different version who cares, but wanted the “likely winner” to win and thus didn’t bother to vote).
How about Mickey Mouse and Adolph Hitler signed the petition, but weren’t registered voters?
Buuuutttttt Merovign (4): It was the Evil Bush & his Evil Brother who stole that election in Florida.
That must be why Republicans want ID at the poles — so they can’t do it again.
