In the weeks since Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his Republican allies passed a controversial "budget repair bill" that eliminated the rights of public sector workers to collectively bargain, activists on both sides of the aisle have been feverishly trying to collect enough signatures to trigger recall elections against the officials involved.
