Oooh, it's about to get jazzy up in here! Washington state official decided to release of the 138 K signatures for Referendum 71, an anti-gay marriage petition, for the whole world to see:
State officials are releasing copies of petitions that forced a vote on a 2009 domestic partnership law.
The Washington State Archives provided a DVD to The Associated Press on Monday showing the 138,000 signatures for Referendum 71. The disclosure came just a few hours after a federal judge ruled that the signers are unlikely to face harassment.This will be interesting. I'll keep you posted on the fallout.
Opponents of the law that expanded gay partnership rights managed to get enough signatures in 2009 to force a vote on the issue. They had pushed in court to keep the names of petition supporters private, arguing that it was a contentious issue and that people could be threatened.
An attorney for the group plans to appeal the decision.
