Wisconsin Dems have already collected nearly half of recall signatures to recall GOP senators

[WI_DEM]

In another sign that the Wisconsin GOP’s quick passage of the bill to roll back bargaining rights is only causing the fight to escalate, Dems have now collected over 45 percent of the signatures necessary to hold recall elections for eight GOP state senators, the Wisconsin Democratic Party tells me.
Dems have now collected over 56,000 signatures supporting the recall drives, according to party spokesman Graeme Zielinski, after another surge in organizing activity over the weekend. That’s up from rougly 14,000 after last weekend. This means Dems are well ahead of schedule: In each targeted district, Dems need to amass the required signatures — 25 percent of the number who voted in the last gubernatorial election — by a deadline of 60 days after first filing for recalls, which happened nearly two weeks ago.

In other words, Dems are reporting they are nearly halfway to the finish line, with roughly three-fourths of the alloted time remaining.

2. Well November is actually working in the Dems favor

the low turnout means that the number of signatures is less than what it would have been in 2008.

4. Here in La Crosse they need around 15,000 signatures to recall Kapanke

but they are looking to get 24,000 to be safe. Many signatures are sure to be challenged and you are sure to get people who will sign petitions more than once or who don't vote in the district. So I'm sure that everywhere they are looking to get many more signatures than needed.
