Reaching the actual number needed is not so important as a cut off because all of the signatures that are questionable will be challenged. When/if they reach the required number after the cahllenges are over is when the cut off will occur.
This data base will be searched 6 ways from Sunday to try to identify bogus signatures.
Everyone who did NOT sign a peition is encouraged to submit their own names to VerifyTheRecall.com and they will also be sorted and cross matched by name and address to make sure that nobody just signed their name to a petition.
Thanks for detailing that. :)
