Stunning is that Newt didnt say to himself, hey, maybe I should get 15k signatures. Pretty sweet deal. 15k and nobody cares.
My above point stands, regardless of whether one thinks Newt and Perry should have gotten more (15K) signatures.
All signatures should be verified. You aren't disagreeing with that, are you?
