The third-floor offices of the Government Accountability Board are a blur of activity these days as the state’s election watchdog works through an unprecedented number of recall petitions.

On Thursday, the busiest day in what has become the busiest recall year ever, officials submitted the signatures for four state senators.

The filings push GAB deep into uncharted waters. The agency has never dealt with more than a single recall election at one time. But after Thursday, it now faces eight — a number that could easily grow by mid-May, the last deadline for the remaining eight senators targeted with recalls.

Meanwhile, the agency is preparing to conduct a recount of this year’s state Supreme Court election.
