St. George organizers felt pretty confident with their numbers on Thursday. Rainey said they scrutinized the signatures a little harder this time and expect the validation rate to be at least as good, if not better, than the first portion of the petition.

If 17 percent of the new signatures were invalidated, that would still mean St. George has more than 1,000 signatures beyond the minimum number required to call an election.

Even if all of Better Together’s withdrawal forms are valid, that would still provide a cushion of a few hundred signatures for St. George. Last time around, about 20 percent of Better Together’s withdrawal forms were also discarded for not being valid.

The next few months are going to be annoying as hell with the constant radio and tv ads these two groups are going to put out leading up to this election.
