Scott Fitzgerald intimidates recall signers in his district, suggests corruption.

Republican State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, recalled with the help of local small business owner Lori Compas, has decided to poison the public's perception of the guaranteed right to replace a wildly out of control politician. Fitz thinks his radical behavior isn't reason enough to warrant a recall, but many in the state would beg to differ.

Via postcards to district voters, Fitz suggests someone, maybe neighbors or out of state activists, might have signed his fellow supporters names to the recall petitions. "Your name has shown up.." or "We've discovered a large number of questionable signatures..." Check out the picture captured from Fitz's election web site:

This whole campaign cooked up by recalled Republicans is an obvious attempt to discredit the legitimacy of the recall process, a process that ironically, saw pranks, threats and attempted fraud by other Republicans.
