Warning - A petition worker came by yesterday to ask for our signatures and knew everyone's name in the household. We declined to sign. Later, Mr. b overheard one of the workers asking the other what happens if no one signs the petition. The guy told him that they write in the signatures themselves. Mr. b reported it to the elections office and to someone else in the courthouse. We'll wait until the petition is turned and to see if our names are on it and then report it to the county attorney.
Please be aware of this practice in your neighborhoods.
There is no such thing as a professional petition worker.
Yes, there is and the name of the company is in the local newspaper. But, you know better than the newspaper.
It would be helpful to know what the petition was for and where your neighborhood is.
If it’s to change the color of Milk Bones, I don’t really care, but if it’s for some referendum that will further reduce our liberties, that’s kind of a big deal. Also, if this was in Nevada or some other state, I also don’t care, but if it’s in my neighborhood of Sacramento County and they want to increase my water or sewer fees, I’d start looking for these petition workers and make sure they’re unable to sign anybody’s name, even their own.
I have no doubt there are companies who will supply petition workers, but we will have to agree to disagree as to whether the respondents are actually professional.
Be aware that the List of Persons is available for a nominal fee at your City Clerk’s Office. It comes out every two years and contains your name, address, occupation, age, Sex, party affiliation and your voting status if “Inactive”. Signature Gatherers get paid by the signature. So do those who steal the votes of the “Inactive’.
They really like it when the name in the book is not the same as the name on the mailbox. Easy pickins.....
Well it was recently in NV and we do care but they got their way and now we’ll have a universal backgrnd chk initiative on the ‘16 ballot. And there’s a lot of dumbasses here.
When did third party registration begin? Motor Voter?
A friend’s son has a company. They are paid $1 or more for each signature. He travels all over the country. Big bucks!

Elections are meaningless now. Foreigners and radicals decide our elections.
And mobs in the street.
It is a survey on a upcoming local vote.
I wouldn’t want my name signed to so much as a Milk Bones color change. It’s my signature and no one has legal use of it but me, myself and I.
Wow. If anyone comes to the door to have someone sign a petition that's important and no one wants to, maybe it would be a good idea to call and make sure the names are NOT on there EVERY time.
. My parents are deceased - you better believe I made sure their names were taken off the voter rolls. Now I know they're not voting. I WILL, from now on, make SURE my(our) name(s) are not on a petition we did not sign. (My son is still young enough to sign just to get rid of an annoying person at the door)

I would enacted my own version of homeland security, and just somehow, in some unknown fashioned, the questioner would have ended up going over the railing of my porch, possibly slipping on all that bat guano, in his flip-flops.
Poll workers are not "professionals". There are only three types of "professionals of record": Certified engineers, lawyers, and doctors.
The polling company is not professional, and its workers are hired hands.
You forgot "crooks".
I would actually smile at the clown if he tried that in this little TX town. He wouldn’t be required to bring his own shovel but a shovel will be quite necessary to complete the transaction.
