Recall committees look for stay of judge's decision on checking signatures
The committees to recall Scott Walker and three GOP state senators today again asked an appeals court to stay the guv's lawsuit against the GAB over checking signatures on recall petitions.
A Waukesha County judge last week ordered the GAB to do a more thorough check of the petitions after rejecting a request from the recall committees to be involved in the suit.
The committees appealed the latter decision to the 4th District, which has set an expedited briefing schedule for the appeal. But they asked the court a second time for an emergency stay that would put off implementation of the judge's order, noting that recall petitions are due Tuesday. The motion argues the petitions should be treated the same as others before it in which the responsibility for challenging signatures fell to the target of the recall.
