Who are True the Vote and Verify the Recall?
True the Vote is a nonpartisan, non-profit, citizen led initiative to inspire and equip fellow citizens to participate in our nation’s electoral process. Verify the Recall is a collaborative effort between Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty, We the People of the Republic and True the Vote, to allow the general public an
opportunity to assist in developing a comprehensive online digital dataset of all recall petition signatures.
What role are we playing in
Verify the Recall’s involvement is simply to help uphold the integrity of the process. Volunteer data enterers transcribe each of the petitions’ handwritten signature lines into a proprietary database, in a secure web-based environment. This dataset is then examined according to a multivariate analysis hierarchy that
programmatically evaluates each signature according WI election code.
What are our goals?
• To uphold the integrity of election processes
• To conduct a comprehensive review of recall petition data
• To publicly present all findings
Key Points and Statistics
• We have over 13,000 volunteers from 49 states
• We have an average of 3,000 volunteers working on each petition
• Each signature record is entered an average of 4 times. This redundancy occurs by design, allowing for the capture of consistent information and isolation of aberrant information.
• Approximately 1.18 million signature records were entered in our review of the Senate Recall Petitions
• We have begun work on the Scott Walker recall; have entered 1.25 million records to date.
• Our data entry effort began on January 27th. In the past 13 days we have entered 2.43 million signatures.
