What's This? R-71 could Fail?


Well, I knew something was rotten in the state of Washington.

So far the signatures R-71, the referendum to overturn Wash. same-sex domestic partnership law, already has a high error rate. The secretary of state's office said they had checked another 6,140 signatures for Referendum 71, and rejected 14.2 percent of it.

That doesn't look good for the haters, however I hope this start a conversation about the how these type of petitions and validity of the signatures.

It's very interesting to see God's chosen act as the Devil's gang.

I've got to disagree - it means there is something good in WA, as it looks like there aren't enough people to put this thing over. It even had to be spearheaded from outside the state.
Final results estimated to be August 17.

Some things I have never understood. Why would they submit something like the petition with phony signatures if they know it is going to be thoroughly scrutinized? Aren't you at risk of looking like lying, cheating bigots? And shouldn't that be against any kind of Christian conduct?

I would say, based on the numbers, so far, it's too early to draw conclusions. However, when one puts into perspective that Greg MacPherson bitchy moment from last week, it does make one wonder whether Greg was doing some self projecting.
