Also, some people read hand writing more carefully or less carefully 
than others.
See Ohio for a recent surprise issue that happened.
See Maine for another recent surprise.
Ken Moellman gave you lots of comments on the topic separately.
The LNC Ballot Access Committee might like to give even more reasons.
See Alabama for a recent example (Paul Frankel can explain).

Kevin, separately you wrote how you thought we should be spending more 
than $2.50 per signature. I'm sure the LP Oklahoma can arrange that for 
any amounts you donate.
