The Associated Press reports:

The head of Wisconsin’s elections board does not want to accept analysis of recall petitions done by anyone other than the targeted office holders, including Gov. Scott Walker, and those who organized the recall drives.

The Government Accountability Board was to discuss the issue at its meeting Tuesday.

Monday’s memo by Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy comes after the attorney for two tea party groups submitted a request Thursday asking the board to accept its analysis of the estimated 1 million petition signatures targeting Walker.
