Pot heads will do anything to get dope, lie cheat anything,I had lung cancer in 2003, I had surgery (lung removal) and spent 18 days in the hospital, several days in intensive care, they put me on a morphine pump , I had them remove it the next day, it did strange things to my head, I spent the next six years on chemo, bone scans. pet scans, chest X-rays and blood work. I never had pain that required more than Ibuprofen, and one prescription of hydrocodone.I lost my hair and really felt trrible the whole time, but I survived without dope. I guess the dope heads will jump all over me for telling it like it is.

If the canvassers are paid per signature, then dock them for each bad signature.

I don't understand why there is so much scrutiny over these signatures when they don't require an ID to vote?

The liars and cheats will always congregate where there is no oversight or financial repercussions. Have the agency verifying the signatures begin charging the petitioners $2.00 for every fraudulent signature they encounter and I can almost guarantee the falsifications will cease.
