Signatures of names like Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler are being considered valid on recall petitions of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker as long as they are properly dated, a government board indicated Tuesday.
Suspicious signatures will be noted, but reviewers on the Government Accountability Board will be looking primarily to see whether the signatures are accompanied by a Wisconsin address and signed during the appropriate time, according to WISN12.

“We will flag them, but we will not strike them without challenge,” said board elections specialist David Buerger, when asked whether Mickey Mouse’s signature could count. He added that in previous petitions, Hitler’s name was only struck because the address was in Germany, not due to the name itself.
Those seeking to recall Walker must gather 540,208 ballots by Jan. 17 to force an election on the matter. Organizers had 300,000 as of Nov. 28.
Walker’s efforts to restrict collective-bargaining rights for public union workers in Wisconsin have attracted the ire of progressive activists in the state.
Liberal activists first targeted six Republican state senators in recall elections this past summer, causing two Republicans to lose their seats. Despite their campaign to wrest control of the upper chamber from the right, Republicans still hold control over the state’s Senate.

From my reading of that article, being a registered voter is not a requirement to sign the petition, only a resident of the state at the time of the petition.

And you know there has to be some jackass somewhere actually named Adolf Hitler.

My grandfather used to sign people's paychecks with Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler to see if banks were paying attention.

That's the thing. The banks used to clear them. They did it every time. He used to do it to catch the banks sleeping on the job. It led to a lot of conversations with my grandfather chewing out bank executives.

Back then, you also didn't have your money available until three days after you cleared the check. So, you wouldn't have been getting overdraft fees because you wouldn't have been "floating" checks that you knew you didn't have the money to back up on the hopes that your paycheck would hit on Friday with direct deposit.

Finally, if you did have a check bounce, I'm sure he would've issued another one with his signature on it.

I imagine he also would have asked you why you didn't notice that the check had Mickey Mouse's signature on it rather than his.

I didn't know you could even write out checks to the IRS. I've always been instructed to write them out to the US Treasury.
