Gov. Scott Walker’s (R-WI) campaign will decline to file challenges today against the petition signatures to recall him, saying that they were unable to review the 150,000 pages within the allotted time:

WisPolitics reports:

Walker faced a deadline today to file challenges after a Dane County judge granted him a 20-day extension beyond the 10 days allotted under state law. Walker also sought an additional two weeks but was turned down.

“We faced an impossible timeline,” said Walker spokeswoman Ciara Matthews.

Matthews declined comment when asked if the campaign would appeal the ruling denying additional time beyond the original extension.
