Alex at Think Progress: "Activists working to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) filed petitions today with more than 1 million signatures to the state, close to double the almost they needed to begin the recall process and force Walker to stand for reelection in November. If successful, it would be the first gubernatorial recall in Wisconsin history, and only the third in U.S. history. The number of signatures comes close to the 1,128,941 votes Walker received, and was far more than the 540,000 needed."
Via @scatx, Steve Weinstein noted that Wisconsin's "entire population is just 5.6 million and more than 1 million of them just signed to recall their Gov. Walker."
Wow.
