Wisconsin state senator recall petitioners can expect court disputes over the validity of their petitions

From a POLITICO.com article, which offers reader commenting:

"Relatively lenient Wisconsin petitioning provisions may ease the path to recall -- but lawyers say protracted court battles are entirely possible over the petitions that both parties are now circulating.
Under state law, petition circulators -- who face tight regulations in other states -- do not need to be registered voters or to live in the district, but merely have to be eligible to vote if they were to live in Wisconsin, a measure which excludes felons, minors, and non-citizens. Wisconsin has same-day voter registration, so the signatories only need to be eligible to vote and live within the proper districts.
Court disputes over the validity of the petitions will likely revolve around the eligibility of the person circulating the petitions, the eligibility of the signatory, legibility and weeding out duplicates."
