Update from Wisconsin Reporter
UPDATED: GOP alleges Democrats intimidating recall petition signers:
"Mike Tate, chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin said in a statement that his organization launched the telephone campaign Monday in response to reports of people who had been “misled by Republican petition circulators.”
“To ensure people haven't been duped or lied to by shady political operatives, we performed a random survey of petition signers,” Tate said in a statement released on Tuesday. “The phone vendor who performed the survey acknowledges it mistakenly called from an inaccurate number for a limited number of calls, which inadvertently led some people who received these calls to believe they were emanating from Aurora Baycare in Green Bay. The calls did not come from Aurora Baycare nor does Aurora Baycare have any involvement in the party's efforts to resolve concerns with questionable tactics that were used by the Republican circulators. The vendor has taken responsibility for the error, and apologized for any inconvenience. In light of ongoing reports of GOP circulators misleading voters about recall petitions, we will continue to vigilantly protect people from those who seek to gather signatures by distortion and trickery.'
A message left for Hansen’s press office in Green Bay was not immediately returned."
