31. Not necessarily bad
As I said in my own thread on this topic, as long as all the petitions thrown out actually DESERVED to be thrown out then there's no foul. I don't mind someone playing by the rules.

The article said this which made me raise an eyebrow:

"If names were printed instead of signed in cursive writing, they were declared invalid. If signatures were good but the person gathering the signatures wasn't properly registered, then those petitions also were thrown out."

This sounded like using the letter of the law to subvert the spirit of the law. THAT I cannot get behind.
