Fuzzy Math!

That's one way you could put it. There's a whole other way.

Luzerne County Petition Signature Count(From the Sunday Dispatch)

Citizens collected 1,899 voter signatures in Luzerne County as part of the effort to overturn the county’s new anti-discrimination ordinance.

This total was submitted to County Council Clerk Sharon Lawrence on June 23, 2026, within the two-week deadline set after the County Council’s June 9 approval of the ordinance. The required minimum for the first batch was 1,162 signatures, and the group exceeded that by 737.

So the decision to make the names and addreeses of the folks who signed was not an effort to remove illegitimate signatures. And any politico who repeats that utter hogwash is a bald-faced liar. There was no way they could have had 700-plus signatures disqualified and they knew it going in. No way. I heard the architect of this tomfoolery on WILK and his claims were dubious at best.

That decision was a failed form of intimidation. Junior high types would call that a prick's trick.

And where the hell is it written that lowlife voters such as ourselves should not be challenging our elected, self-impressed know-it-alls. The gods from on high forced to live among us common, uneducated, unclean dummies. How do they get off feeling so superior? Because their families voted for them?

Come election time, there is one that needs to be soundly rejected by the voters. I'll not mention his name because these public figures always have attorneys on speed dial. We'll leave him with this...

Buh-bye.
