Let's see: If I were opposing the recall, I'd advise my sheeple to sign every recall petition possible - with fictitious names and addresses.
Do you suppose there's been any of that going on?
A ton of that is going on. You can be damned sure that Davis' people infiltrated the petition crews with their own people. Bogus names and addresses, dead dogs, "Heywood Jablowmie", "A. Hitler", that kind of stuff.
This petition will hit a brick wall when it's submitted to the SOS' Office. Imagine the Republicans' chagrin when Democrats uncover Barney the Dinosaur's mark on several of the address lines.
The Recall is toast, I'm afraid. At worst, for Davis, this will get put off to Democrat Primary Season, when the Rats will be out in force.
Be Seeing You,

If I were opposing the recall, I'd advise my sheeple to sign every recall petition possible - with fictitious names and addresses.
Do you suppose there's been any of that going on?Probably, but it pales in comparison to the deluge of people who legitimately sign. The recall Davis team (and probably the other groups) discard the obviously wrong signatures, and they compare many of the signatures to voter registration rolls.
Contra Costa County recently verified samples of the recall signatures they received and found about 90% valid, which is an extremely high rate compared to the typical initiative drives that get about 60-75%. (CCC reported 91% on one recall sample and 89% on another.)
