This is testimony before the Government Accountability Board, not courtroom testimony.

Democratic attorney Jeremy Levinson just finished his testimony on the effort to recall state Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay), and Eric McLeod, attorney for all three recall organizations, is testifying now.

Several members of the board, all of them former judges, have questioned McLeod sharply on one of the assertions Levinson made -- that a Colorado-based firm hired by the recall campaigns to help gather signatures had paid its workers by the signature.

Judge Gordon Myse, a board member, asked McLeod if he knew whether the circulators were paid by the signature,and McLeod said he didn't know.

Much of the Democrats' challenge involves questions about the paid out-of-state circulators, supplied by a Colorado firm called Kennedy Enterprises. Democrats say some 44% of the signatures in the Hansen recall were collected by the paid circulators.

Stay tuned. The Republicans can't win fairly and the Dems are onto them like a duck on a June bug.
