Group says it has enough signatures to recall Fitzgerald

Madison -- The committee to recall Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald announced Friday it has the signatures to force an election.
...................


Fitzgerald filed a complaint with election officials Thursday arguing the collection of signatures must end Friday, rather than Saturday, because recall organizers have just 60 days to gather signatures.Election officials -- backed by the state Department of Justice -- believe signatures can be collected through Saturday because the 60-day clock did not start to tick until Nov. 16, a day after Compas registered her committee with the state and began collecting signatures.

Recall officials said they were not worried about Fitzgerald's complaint.
"That's a kid not winning Monopoly throwing the board up at the end of the game," said recall volunteer Sarah Hammer, a Fort Atkinson nurse.

I guess I'd forgotten he wasn't part of the last recall.

You go, Wisconsin! You were the beginning of the end of their machinations.
