On February 3, a Wisconsin State Appeals Court vacated a lower court ruling that had told state election officials to check for duplicate signatures on the statewide recall petitions. In Wisconsin, any adult citizen/resident of the state may sign recall petitions. Therefore, there is no predetermined list of registered voters to check the petition against. The lower court had said that elections officials at least had to weed out duplicate signatures.
Unless there is a further appeal, opponents of the recall will now need to do the work of challenging duplicate signatures. See this story. There are two statewide recall petitions, one for Governor and one for Lieutenant Governor.

Praytell — how does one determine that a petition signer is even a LEGAL adult citizen/resident of the state ???
OR — how EVIL INSANE is the New Age Wisc. regime ???
How many MORON States do NOT have lists of LEGAL registered Electors ??? (wrongly called *voters*).
The word is ELECTORS — despite all sorts of moron media reports and lawyer briefs — one more part of the dumbing down and down and down of civilization.
#2 Does Wisconsin require the signers be registered voters?
