5. Say good bye Scott Walker ... some simple math

If anybody has better figures let me know.

They needed 540,000 signatures and got 720,000 and this in a state w/ a total population 5,700,000 and a
voting age population of 4,275,000 which at the most has 80% of those people as registered voters (3,420,000)
so over 20% of the registered badger voters signed up to have Walker recalled. If you go by proportions this
is even better than the # of people who signed up to kill SB 5 in Ohio. So the big story here is that it is not
a question of if Scott Walker will be recalled but when he will be recalled.

I might have to take a vacation to Wisconsin in June just to be there for the party.
