Your Evening R-71 Count: Another Step Towards Not Making the Ballot
Wednesday, Aug. 5 2009 @ 5:57PM
Well, the duplicate rate didn't increase exponentially, but the error rate remained too high. Today's count of R-71 petitions--i.e. petitions to prevent the state from giving gay people rights--turned up an error rate of 14.2%, just below yesterday's error rate of 14.4%.
Here's the number soup: So far, just 23,457 of the 137,689 signatures have been checked, with a total error rate of 13.31%. (To make the ballot, the highest error rate they can have is 12.42%.) Of the rejected, only 68 are duplicates. Given that that number should shoot up, this pace bodes ill for R-71's supporters, and well for the rest of us.
