Walker denied more time to review recall petitions after third request

Perhaps it’s just too overwhelming for the Walker staff to review all of the record-shattering amount of recall petitions. Perhaps it’s just a stalling tactic for Walker to go out of Wisconsin when he should be governing to beg for cash from the right-wing merchants of class warfare against the American people. Perhaps it’s the fact that Walker and his staff are trying to cover up any evidence leading to more indictments in the John Doe investigation that is expanding by the day and leading to Walker getting handcuffed. Perhaps it’s all of these factors. Either way, Scott Walker was denied more time to review the recall petitions calling for his removal after the stalling tactic was tried three times before.

A Dane County judge today rejected Gov. Scott Walker’s request for an additional two weeks to review the recall petitions filed against him.

Walker had argued there was not sufficient time to complete his review with the original 20-day extension he had received. He argued the additional two weeks would have pushed his deadline to March 12, which he argued would still allow the GAB to finish its work on the petitions and decide whether to certify an election by the end of March. The GAB was previously given until March 19 to rule on the petitions.

But Judge Richard Niess said he’d already tripled the time Walker was allowed under state law to review the petitions.

In his filing, Walker said he was finding an error rate of between 10 percent and 20 percent, well short of the approximately 50 percent error rate needed to derail an election.

“There is little likelihood that there’s going to be any legitimate challenge to the sufficiency of the petition,” Niess said.

With the continuing whining from the Walker administration that everything that’s coming down on Walker is somebody else’s fault, we’re bound to see Walker on Fox News getting yet another puff piece interview where he can beg for more cash.
