That's what I mean. Definitely intimidation and intimidation that can work. I'm not sure how many states make the names of the petitioners available like that. I believe that California does not make the names public, but I don't know for sure, and have asked someone who does what the law is here. In California, the Secretary of State is charged with the responsibility of verifying that signatures gathered are valid and sufficient in number to qualify whatever it is for the ballot. That is a public duty that is not taken lightly and never should be. I can't imagine any useful public need to know who signed a petition.
