    Serious Questions on Wisconsin Recall Petitions

    True the Vote Analysis of Senate Recall Petitions Show Significant Problems with SignaturesFitzgerald and Moulton Petitions May Not Have Enough Signatures to Qualify for Recall Election

    The integrity of Wisconsin elections is on the verge of implosion, as United Wisconsins coordinated effort t

    recall six Wisconsin officials has led to the submission of more than 1,000,000 petition signatures. In an

    effort to audit these signatures True the Vote is discovering significant errors, including duplicate signatures

    incorrect addresses, and the like.

    Summary Analysis of Senate Recall Petitions

    Full Reports can be found at www.truethevote.org/resources/recall

    Who are True the Vote and Verify the Recall?True the Vote is a nonpartisan, non-profit, citizen led initiative to inspire and equip fellow citizens to

    participate in our nations electoral process. Verify the Recall is a collaborative effort between Wisconsin

    GrandSons of Liberty, We the People of the Republic and True the Vote, to allow the general public an

    opportunity to assist in developing a comprehensive online digital dataset of all recall petition signatures.

    What role are we playing in Wisconsins Recall Petition review process and why?

    Verify the Recalls involvement is simply to help uphold the integrity of the process. Volunteer data enterers

    transcribe each of the petitions handwritten signature lines into a proprietary database, in a secure web-

    based environment. This dataset is then examined according to a multivariate analysis hierarchy that

    programmatically evaluates each signature according WI election code.

    What are our goals?

    To uphold the integrity of election processes

    To conduct a comprehensive review of recall petition data

    To publicly present all findings

    Key Points and Statistics

    We have over 13,000 volunteers from 49 states

    We have an average of 3,000 volunteers working on each petition

    Each signature record is entered an average of 4 times. This redundancy occurs by design, allowing for

    the capture of consistent information and isolation of aberrant information.

    Approximately 1.18 million signature records were entered in our review of the Senate Recall Petitions

    We have begun work on the Scott Walker recall; have entered 1.25 million records to date.

    Our data entry effort began on January 27th. In the past 13 days we have entered 2.43 million signatures
