MADISON, Wis. — Organizers of an effort to kick Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker out of office said Thursday they’ve collected nearly enough signatures to force a recall election.
The state Democratic Party, unions and disgruntled citizens started organizing amid growing anger over Walker’s polarizing measure approved in March that effectively ended collective-bargaining rights for public workers. The United Wisconsin coalition reports that it collected 507,533 signatures in 28 days; the group must submit 540,208 by Jan. 17 to force the recall.
