Lena Taylor (signer on #147623), while not being detained for election fraud or moving to Illinois for a couple of weeks to play hooky from her salaried job, was busy circulating petitions. Quite a bit of them as we found out. Here’s the one’s we found so far…

147465 through 147495, 147510-147517, 147519-145523, 147526-147529

Not surprisingly, there’s blatant errors in a number of them. So far we saw 8 with glaring problems.

• 147471 - Signature doesn’t match name, and two signatures in one box
• 147479 - Guy writes his address twice but changes it second time
• 147480 - Missing date
• 147482 - Missing signature, dates is the day before previous line
• 147484 - Lady lives in the ‘City of Ozaukee’
• 147485 - Lists Milwaukee as the municipality of New Berlin
• 147522 - Missing Signature
• 147485 - Man signs two signatures from the same circulator in one day

Few comments:

1) She was stupid enough to circulate 40+ petitions when she knows people would have an eye on her.

2) Somebody let her do that.

3) She was stupid enough to not go through the petitions and cross out obvious bad signers (like you’re supposed to do when you date the thing).

4) Someone was stupid enough to not check her petitions before turning them into the GAB knowing full well Lena probably wouldn’t check them herself.

5) This district doesn’t care at all how terrible a senator she is.
