I’m glad my state is strengthening laws dealing with legal petitions. Things like better disclosure of who is funding them and who is collecting the names. Sounds like they’re also looking at ways of verifying that the names are people who actually wanted to sign them.
I concur with your assessment. However, my favorite liberal at my coffee shop ranted about how the GOP was stealing the vote of the people, blah blah. I asked him if he enjoyed the number of ballot initiatives last Nov. and he said no. I have learned that no matter what happens, the GOP is stealing, lying, hating.
