John,
Arizona election integrity is again at stake, and it's the usual suspects causing all the mayhem.
You may have missed it over the weekend, but several left-leaning groups rushed to the courts to seek an emergency order that would allow online signatures to be accepted for ballot initiatives—even though it is against state law.
To sign a petition online, you just need to enter a matching name, address, and driver’s license number—all of which is public record at the DMV. There is no other "authentication" of any kind. Up to this point, it has only been used for hundreds of signatures at a time, but these groups want to use it for hundreds of thousands!
