The GAB finally posted the recall petitions. I have looked through pages 1-50 so far and made the following observances, be they true or not:

1. Most pages are not full of signatures, several have only 1 on the page.
2. Many signatures look like children wrote them, or the individual was under the influence of something.

The site is extremely slow, must be getting a lot of hits.

You can find them at: http://webapps.wi.gov/sites/recall/default.aspx

Enjoy,
Rick

As bad as the handwriting is i'm guessing that has less to do with being under the influence than having decent penmanship. I personally have horrible penmanship and rarely if ever hand write anything but my name or the date. It's been at least 5 years since I've done more than that lol. It's really a generational thing. Now it's much faster and legible to type it vs write it.

I looked through a bunch of the pages and I concluded, with all the Madison signatures, Madison must be about a million people.

I don't know how critically or closely the GAB actually looks at these, but I did a "quick" browse through the first 100 and had more than a few that caught my eye as being a bit suspicious. Or at least a bit strange.

Also had the thought that if they are going on the number of petitions turned in for the "estimated" number of signatures, I think they will be a bit disappointed when they start counting the actual correct signatures. :lol:
