Serious Questions on Wisconsin Recall Petitions

True the Vote Analysis of Senate Recall Petitions Show Significant Problems with Signatures
Fitzgerald and Moulton Petitions May Not Have Enough Signatures to Qualify for Recall Election
The integrity of Wisconsin elections is on the verge of implosion, as United Wisconsins coordinated effort to recall six Wisconsin ofcials has led to the submission of more than 1,000,000 petition signatures. In an effort to audit these signatures True the Vote is discovering signicant errors, including duplicate signatures, incorrect addresses, and the like.

This dataset is then examined according to a multivariate analysis hierarchy that programmatically evaluates each signature according WI election code.

What are our goals?

To uphold the integrity of election processes To conduct a comprehensive review of recall petition data To publicly present all ndings

Key Points and Statistics

This redundancy occurs by design, allowing for the capture of consistent information and isolation of aberrant information. Approximately 1.18 million signature records were entered in our review of the Senate Recall Petitions We have begun work on the Scott Walker recall; have entered 1.25 million records to date. Our data entry effort began on January 27th. In the past 13 days we have entered 2.43 million signatures.
