Reid Magney, a spokesman from Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board, says destroying or defacing an official recall petition would violate state law. (Here's the relevant statute.) Such a violation, he adds, would be a class I felony in Wisconsin, which carries a maximum fine of $10,000 and up to three-and-a-half years in jail.

Not that it's surprising, really. These guys weren't exactly winners.

Forming a conspiracy requires subtlety and a clandestine operation. These clowns should be booked for being stupid along with the Class I felony, and since this is in Wisconsin:
