Republican
candidate for Secretary of State of California Pete Peterson today announced
that he would conditionally “support legislation” to implement online
signature-gathering on initiative petitions in California “if we could securely
do it.”
Asked if
he’d support legislation to bring about Smart Initiatives in California in
2014, here’s what he told Etopia News:
”At this point...without VoteCal in place, I'm not sure legislation
could be written that would answer my concerns about the statewide ability of
the SoS to compare e-signatures with voter roll. I do support exploring what it
would take, and if we could securely do it, would support legislation.”
According to a source in the office of
California State Senator Alex Padilla, who is also running for Secretary of
State in 2014, the senator currently has a proposal to implement Smart
Initiatives “under review.”
