DescriptionMADISON, Wis – Opponents of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday they have obtained more than 1 million signatures on petitions to recall him from office, nearly half of the number that voted in the 2010 election that put him into office.
β€œIt is beyond legal challenge,’’ said Ryan Lawler, a vice-chairman of United Wisconsin, the main recall organization. It is also well beyond the 540,208 needed to trigger a recall election. The petitions are to be submitted to the Government Accountability Board, which will examine them to determine their validity.
