Late this morning the personal Facebook page of a prominent Milwaukee Democratic office holder included the following wall post:
“Want to recall Scott Walker? Make sure your signature counts.
The media has been reporting on multiple organized efforts to pilfer and destroy multiple petition forms. Please ensure your name is signed on a legitimate Scott Walker Recall petition.
I suggest you sign at least twice from different locations. If someone has approached your home, ensure you sign no less than 3 times from this method.
We know for a fact that petitions have been destroyed, purposefully lost, and stolen.”
I had the first comment that we shouldn’t be encouraging fear and hysteria surrounding the recall process.
A few moments later, Mike Tate, the chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, commented that the account may have been hacked.
An hour later the account has been taken down and the official no longer shows up on my list of Facebook friends and the item no longer appears in my list of notifications…although it did earlier even after the FB page had been taken down.
At the time I messaged Graeme Zielinski but haven’t had a reply yet. I also asked Mike Tate if the account had actually been hacked and he replied that he was not sure if it had been hacked or not.
I will update this post when I have additional information…but either we have a dirty tricks hack job or a friend who doesn’t quite understand how the recall is working! Neither one is conducive to running a clean and transparent recall election.
