Hitler and Mickey Mouse Approved Signatures On WI Recall Petition

"Judge Thomas Barland, a GAB board member, asked what was being done to prevent the temporary workers being hired to review the petitions from attempting to sabotage one side or the other.

“Our overarching priority for the staff we are hiring is that they are coming at this from a nonpartisan basis,” he said. "
