      I’ve been hearing about it on NPR. The rules are absolutely ridiculous, and they are purposely vague so they can be used as a cudgel or ignored depending on the judge and their political ideology. Like eighth grade language? Wtf does that mean‽ And they want canvassers to read it out loud to each and every person who signs. Only the rich will get things past.
