They showed people the real petition (to allow stores to sell wine) and then had them sign a second petition (the anti-marriage equality one). Often they would say, 'Oh this one's full, here sign this one where there's room.' And, yes, people were dumb not to look at the 2nd one.
I gave a lecture to one of Ted Kennedy's interns once. She was having people sign up for his email list or something outside of a Stop N Shop. I told her I didn't sign those in light of the fraudulent petitions going around. "But it's for Senator Kennedy." She told me. I responded, "Well, tell Ted from me that he should look into it. Once he does, then I'll sign up for his email updates."
She looked at me kind of stunned. (She was like 20.)
