Specifically, falsify any information. As a disclaimer on petitions where the state requires them to be voters it reads: by signing the following you are asserting that you are an eligible voter for the State of Wisconsin. Signing that statement, which is a legal document (a recall petition) you are falsifying it, at least as far your individual signature goes.
States generally look the other way in cases like this because its hard to track down and prove, let alone prosecute---but it IS illegal. Im not arguing as to any other thing. Apparently some of you dont understand what falsifying means, I dont mean false signatures, I mean that voters are ineligible and holding that they are such is an illegal act on an official document as outlined by statute.
Instead of putting up "no its not" "thats rediculous" why dont you illustrate to me how I am wrong---because none of you have made a shred of an attempt to do so.
You are wrong, that statute is meant for the signature gatherer, not the individual signers. On each page of the petitions, the gatherer must certify that he/she has followed the statute S.12.13(3)(a).
The signature of gatherer is saying that he/she agrees with the premise of the petition, not that he/she can legally vote.
