Scott Walker, Wisconsin GOP sue state elections and ethics agency over recall effort

◼ The top GOP lawmaker in the Assembly also took a shot at the Government Accountability Board - which he voted to create - saying it had strayed from its nonpartisan mission and might need to be replaced. - Jason Stein of the Journal Sentinel

The lawsuit filed Thursday in Waukesha County Circuit Court asks a judge to order the accountability board to look for and eliminate duplicate signatures, clearly fake names and illegible addresses.

The GAB is putting the burden on Walker to challenge the signature, but its rules give Walker "only 10 days to examine, compare and then challenge more than 540,000 signatures – more than 50,000 signatures a day," which the complaint calls "a practical impossibility."
