Walker Recall update, small sample size

[Scuba]

One County making the quota isn't going to result in 540,208 valid signatures being turned in to force Governor Walker to face a recall election. But I'm awfully proud of our local volunteers.


Our target, handed down from the Democratic Party of Wisconsin is 6,000 signatures.


As of yesterday morning, we were at 11,000 and counting.


And we're still working hard at it!


Way to go Fond du Lac County Recall Walker volunteers!!!

1. Nice work, Fond du Lac!!

I do not have #'s from Waukesha, but I do know we're not doing to badly here, either. Which is pretty amazing.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Scuba!!

[Pab Sungenis]

2. Have you been pre-screening your signatures

before the count?

[PeaceNikki]

4. There are people doing that, yes.

It's typically not the ones collecting, though we have to sign our name on every petition, so we do 'check' them.

No Mickey Mouses, nor Adloph Hilters on the dozens I've turned in!!

[Pab Sungenis]

13. Congratulations.

Newty-toot is the perfect example of what happens when people don't bother to check their petition signatures before they think they've made the goal.

[Scuba]

10. Every single one is checked at least three times. nt

[Pab Sungenis]

12. Beautiful!

11,000 verified signatures is as good as 15,000 unverified (or better)! Congratulations, that's really an achievement if your goal was just 6,000!

Keep up the good work.

[Spazito]

3. That is fantastic!

Congrats to you and all the others who worked so hard to get this done!

WTG indeed!

5. Here are some county totals from a couple weeks ago that are amazing

Specific signature totals from selected counties include the following:

8,007 signatures or 128% of Walker’s 2010 vote total in Douglas County
22,365 signatures or 124% of Walker’s 2010 vote total in Eau Claire County
21,558 signatures or 91% of Walker’s 2010 vote total in Rock County
7,375 signatures or 84% of Walker’s 2010 vote total in Oneida County
6,972 signatures or 81% of Walker’s 2010 vote total in Grant County

11. You said a mouthful. But we did dump randy Randy Hopper. n /t

15. From my travels and discussions throughout Wisconsin...

I have found that Fond du Lac County has among the most active and informed progressives, and among the most primative of recently moved out of the cave Neanderthals, found anywhere in the U.S.

[Scuba]

17. I used to say that the most conservative area of the United States...

... was a six-foot circle around my father.



Back in the early 70's the Fondy Chamber decided to try to attract some business, so they ran a full-page ad in a Chicago newspaper.

The add featured a photo of an obviously "hippie" couple with the caption: Fond du Lac's not for everybody".

18. While there are some 4X4 truck nut driving kinds of guys here...

Labels (Neanderthals) aren't a good thing.... and he might be your relative, LOL. It's much more complex then that, the area is an old, old, settlement, it's diverse manufacturing, white collar, and farming, a larger population city (believe it or not) for the area which draws out the youngin' to the big city, and now spill from Milwaukee.


though...

you might want to avoid the PBR signs

Fon du lac county voted about 24,000 to to 13,000 overwhelmingly for Walker...


Scuba dooba do and company is doing an awesome job.

Oh, wait...that's a song lyric. Never mind!
