Approximately 540,000 signatures were required to initiate a recall of Governor Scott Walker, and nearly twice that many were collected.

In total, the number of signatures collected for recalling the governor is roughly 46% of the number of all votes cast in the 2010 gubernatorial election. Scott Walker won the race with 1,128,941 out of 2,160,832 total votes.

Needless to say, this is unprecedented.
