Signing petition deserves same privacy protection as voting?
If signing an initiative petition deserves the same privacy protection as voting, it will have to be conducted like voting [“Will high court take R-71 case?,” NWWednesday, Dec. 30].
It will have to be done in private booths, with signatures sealed in privacy envelopes as our ballots are. This would be cumbersome and expensive, and cut way down on the number of petitions.
That might not be a bad idea. Bye bye, Tim Eyman.
