Early check shows faily clean signatures:
During the first day of signature-verification for Referendum 71, over 5,000 voter signatures were scrutinized and the error rate was 11.34 percent.
The State Elections Division crew turned up 4,991 valid signatures out of the 5,646 they reviewed. A handful were duplicates or the signature didn’t match the voter registration card. Almost 600 petition signers were not found on the roll of registered voters.
As the verification process goes along more duplicates will be found increasing the rate of rejected signatures. The details are here.
But right now the 11.34 percent error rate would mean that it would have enough signatures so getting the YES message out there is very important now.

The "Yes" message is mostly correct, however when it comes down to what the referendum will look like on the ballot, we will need to vote "Approve" Referendum 71, as opposed to a yes or no vote.
