Please explain about initiative forms and the signatures. It sounds intriguing, but doesn’t ring any bells.

Some states (not all) allow the citizenry the opportunity to include popular issues onto voting ballots. It’s called an “initiative”. People place their name, signature and address (to prove eligibility) on a proposal form which is compiled, sent to the courts for approval and then onto the voter ballots. Each initiative form can have as many as a 100 names. There have to be enough names collected in order to meet a percentage of the electorate to qualify.
