Amazing. First off, I have circulated petitions for money and I can tell you that I never got "extensive training" on an issue--it was more like 5 minutes to go over talking points, so that's false. And the way it works is that you must be a registered voter to sign--not if you don't sign, you can't vote, so that was sleazy right there.
And hopefully, the homeless people who were offered a buck to sign are registered voters somewhere in Ohio, because what happens is that each signature is validated at the County Clerk's office and I know in California, a lot of petition places have computer software which allows them to do that in their offices. If a signature turns up as not being valid, then it's thrown out. So as you see, they just lost money by doing that if those people aren't registered.
