There are always a few bad ones. When you petition like this, some people just sign Mickey Mouse because they are trying to be funny, or trying to sabotage you. When I collected signatures for the Democrats, I tried to check to make sure this didn't happen, but I know it's a mathematical certainty that a few probably got past me, and were never caught, because the signatures aren't really scrutinized that hard. My Republican friends who petition have the same experience. When you are a third party, though, the municipal officials you give the petitions to are either Republicans or Democrats, so they put those documents under an electron microscope. Every single signature has to be perfect or they throw it out. I never petitioned for a third party, but this drives my libertarian and green friends insane.Some of Kanye Trump's petition signatures are fakes:
