Recall petitions signed Mickey Mouse or Adolf Hitler will be considered valid so long as they are properly dated and have a Wisconsin address, according to the group responsible for overseeing elections.
Elections specialist David Buerger told the Wisconsin State Journal that while suspicious signatures will be noted when the Government Accountability Board reviews recall petitions, the petitions will not be discarded as long as they have a Wisconsin address and were signed during the circulation period.
"We will flag them, but we will not strike them without challenge," Buerger told the Wisconsin State Journal.
Also, on Tuesday the GAB approved the board's plan for reviewing petitions.
The board plans to temporarily hire around 50 workers to examine what it anticipates could be up to 1.5 million signatures, and will ask a court for a month long extension to finish the review.
Petitions in the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker and four Republican state senators are due Jan. 17.
